Took my mom for afternoon tea and had the best experience! Not only does the venue itself look beautiful, the display of food looked so appealing and staff were super friendly and attentive! Definitely would

We went for lunch for my birthday, very quiet but lovely place, well it was a Thursday afternoon in February.I had the beef dish ? it was soooo good! Staff very friendly and welcoming, as it is a big building and can look quite daunting but beautiful inside! ?

Savoury afternoon tea for two at 15:30. We had the restaurant to ourselves, music playing in background, restaurant looked lovely. We were greeted, seated and served by a young man, who initially was very attentive and polite and gave us the impression that we were in for a treat. We asked for one of the egg sandwich to be replaced by an additional cheese sandwich, which we were told was no trouble. We were informed at the start that endless hot drinks were included in the price and our choice of drinks could be charged during the sitting. Afternoon tea was brought to the table by a lady. Unfortunately, as requested the egg sandwich had not been replaced by an additional cheese sandwich and we were warned that we may want to wait for the scotch eggs to cool down as they were hot and runny. The sandwiches, quiche and savoury scones were tasty. After being served and during our 1.5 hour sitting we were not again approached by a member of staff. We had to call someone over to ask if we could have a second drink, the coffee latte was freshly made, but the filtered coffee was obviously not fresh. We had to leave the table and approach a member of waiting staff to ask for the bill and to pay. On leaving the restaurant, we seen no members of staff and left without a thank you or goodbye. A shame as £60 was spent for a birthday celebration and it was definitely not the service or experience we were expecting. However, on paying the bill, we were informed they were busy preparing for a Burns night celebration, so maybe we just choose the wrong day and time for a visit.

Great place for lunch, the staff couldn't be more friendly and the food was a pleasure. Looking forward to going back highly recommend.

Excellent meal as usual. Little disappointed with the usual impeccable service. A new member of staff needs a lot of in house training to maintain the standards. Dan was excellent but the more experienced staff need to pass on their expertise.Parking: Leave enough time to find a spot

As a regular visitor to Leamington i knew of this building, having drove past it more times than i can remember but had never had the pleasure of being inside it, until today. Me and my mum had a savoury and a sweet afternoon tea to share between us: Sweet £23.50 and Savoury £25 On arrival we recieved a bottle of free water for the table and unlimited top ups of a selection of teas (coffee, hot chocolate and prosecco also for an extra fee) Food arrived after about 15-20 mins after arrival which we were pleased with as it indicated freshness and the sandwhiches and cakes being made from scratch rather than coming out immediately after being prepared earlier and sat around for hours. We also like taking our time eating/talking and making an occassion out of it rather than being in and out in 30 minutes. Good selection of sanwiches, savoury bits and cakes across both teas. Everything tasted delicious and was well presented. The afternoon tea is served in the restaurant upstairs. The entire building and tea room are beautiful offering a relaxed, comfortable and elegant ambience. Service from every waiter/waitress was polite and attentive. Will certainly be returning in the future as we felt Wittles over delivered on quality and taste and is very reasonably priced for what you recieve. We certainly were made to feel special in this Grade 2 listed building, a nice change from the everyday.

Lunch and afternoon tea. Lunch was delicious, beautifully presented and tasty. Afternoon tea is too expensive for what it is, I'd expect actual smoked salmon not salmon pate. The sandwiches are not sophisticated fillings, more childlike than adult palate. Service is very slow even with no other residents to be served in the restaurant. A pity as it's a beautiful surroundings

I wanted to treat my fiance to a special, traditional afternoon tea and Whittles did not disappoint. The service was 1st class and Dan that served us was so genuine and accomodating. The scones were amazing and and the place looks and feels so nice and relaxing. Would 100% recommend the afternoon tea here.Kid-friendliness: We also had our 7month old with us and they gave us a choice of 2 high chairs and made it so easy for us.

Went for afternoon tea as it was my 70th and my friend belated 70th. We asked for one sweet tea and one savory tea. But we never had scotch egg, quiche or a sausage roll. The amount we had was not worth the money as I am sure it was just for one person and not two. We were not asked if we wanted anymore tea either. We were the only 2 in a huge room and really could have sat us where there were others. So there was no atmosphere. Also whilst we sat there they were moving tables around which I didn't like at all. The place is lovely and very clean. But not worth the money as feel cheated out of the savory tea.
