I can 't remember exactly what month we visited, however it was one of the months during the lockdown period where afternoon was permitted (in spaced out seats . The first thing we noticed was that it was very difficult to get anyone 's attention. The staff remained right at the entrance chatting (possibly for Covid reasons ? but weren 't checking if anyone needed anything and didn 't tell you how to get their attention if you did given how far away they were. Sereval times we were left waving our arms in the air trying to get someone to come over. At one point I gave up and had to walk over to where they were chatting. The food itself was good as always, apart form the fact that the scone f...
We were looking forward to our repeat visit on Boxing Day so had high expectations of tasty delicacies to tanterlise our tastebuds. We were directed to a comfortable sofa and armchair in the centre of the sumptuously decorated room. The background music was opera and it was too loud so felt intrusive. We ordered both the Traditional £24.50) and Gentleman's £27.50) afternoon teas. Coffee was limited to a single cup whilst tea was served in a pot. The food arrived but did not look tempting. We searched for the turkey, stuffing cranberry on flatbread but could only find coronation chicken which had been substituted without comment nor apology; it tasted as if bought from an inferior supermarket...
Went for Christmas afternoon tea this afternoon. Setting superb and lovely table. Requested gluten free afternoon tea and when it arrived I was very excited by the choice . However ...the scones both fruit and cheese were inedible. I think they had been frozen and reheated in microwave as was a cake on top tier . They were so dry and hard we couldn’t eat them . I did mention it when I paid the bill . I am just disappointed for the price charged when I have had afternoon tea at small cafes locally and had fantastic fresh scones and cakes. Also. Being coeliac make most of my cakes and pastry’s myself and bake better. Would now think twice about returning .... But in a positive note the two peo...
Just returned from having afternoon tea which we were given as a gift. We were shown to the Library, a beautiful room to enjoy the experience. This was made even better by having a table next to the window to enjoy the view of the parkland Service was first class and unobtrusive, The tea did'nt include the normal sandwiches but had a small Goats Cheese and Butternut Squash tart, a slice of sausage roll, small brioche roll with roasted salmon and Flatbread with coronation checken,all delicious.3 small but perfect scones and clotted cream and a lovely selection of sweet treats.

Wonderful visit to Wynyard for afternoon tea. The first since lockdown. Impressed by the precautions in place and how pleased the staff were to welcome us back. The afternoon tea was excellent as usual. My partner had the gentleman 's afternoon tea and I had the regular one. I do think it might be time to change the name of the Gentlemans to the savoury afternoon tea. Lots of ladies prefer a savoury meal over a sweet one. Service was a little slow but we were out for a relaxing afternoon so it wasn 't an issue. Social distancing was in place throughout the Hall.
We were a party of 7 on a busy Saturday afternoon. However service was qick and efficent and friendly. Plenty of tea and coffee was available throughout our time. The food was well present, finger sandwiches with choice of fillings. Fruit and pain scones a plenty with jam and dishes of clotted cream. Small cakes on top layer if you could manage them. We brought lots home. We were asked frequently if all was okay and did we need more tea or coffee. Was an enjoyable afternoon and not rushed to leave either. Xx
We enjoyed a delightful afternoon tea today. Our waitress, Libby, was attentive and ensured a pleasurable experience. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and the setting was ideal.
We were seated at a table in the library, which was a perfect spot overlooking the gardens. The food was delicious and the soothing piano music made for a very relaxing experience. One satisfied mom!

We reserved a Mother's Day afternoon tea at Wynyard Hall. The service was outstanding, the atmosphere was lovely, and the servings were plentiful. It was a very pleasant afternoon.
A perfect place to visit in the winter months. Beautiful surroundings and the afternoon tea is a perfect treat
