We 'd been meaning to go to Crafthouse for a while and finally managed it for a Sunday lunch on a blustery Sunday the offer was very reasonable compared to some prices £25 for 2 courses. We came up in the private elevator from the road a nice touch; but then were left waiting in a corridor for 5 minutes whilst staff rushed around a half full dining room, then taken straight to our seats in the bar side of the restaurant we would have had a view of Boar lane and South Leeds if the blinds across the windows hadn 't;t all been fully down I can appreciate there would have been some glare earlier in the day, but the sun had already set when we arrived and so half our view was of greige.

We went to Crafthouse for Afternoon Tea on a Sunday afternoon. This was my second time here, my first time wasn't a great experience but I thought I'd give them benefit of the doubt and give them another shot. Unfortunately the service was identical. We were seated promptly and staff seemed friendly enough. Drinks from the menu took a further 15 or so minutes to arrive, with our Afternoon Tea (or at least part of it) arriving another 20-30 minutes after that. That was the last time we were attended to by any staff. The food itself was nice, however we weren't offered tea. This was the same experience we had last time we attended. We'd already been at our table quite some time when we'd finis...
Treated to afternoon tea by my daughter. We were impressed with the welcome the friendly service. Our afternoon tea was very good, with a very tasty selection of savouries. The small fancy cakes looked lovely were enjoyable, just the right size tho the Madeleines were a rather plain offering. There was one thing which prevented this being a 5* review, and that was the scones, which were rock hard very dry. These should be light fluffy. I would suggest that this element of the afternoon tea could do with improvement, as it was the only thing which disappointed slightly spoilt it for us. Otherwise , very good.
What can I say? The service was amazing!! Eve and Laurie were great!! Eve is this bubbly and smiley character that made my day happier and brighter. Laurie was this cool suave type which is needed for this type of restaurant. Anyways, aside from that the food was ok though such a shame that I couldn’t add another patty to my cheeseburger. My parents ate a whole lobster, the grilled aubergines and the pork chop in one swoop, because the food was delicious : The views though at night was great and I do love the decor!!! Definitely coming back though, when I am not in London, Oxford or traveling the world.

Absolutely fantastic afternoon tea, we were given it as a Christmas present off our daughter. 100% recommended this place. Such a nice touch that it was not just sandwiches, also had hot food, see my pictures everything was fresh and tasty. The cake selection was amazing too delicious scones with jam cream. I like lots on mine, the staff happily supplied me with more! We had free flowing prosecco for 1.5hrs too, our glass was never empty..staff very attentive!! Would definitely recommend The Crafthouse, I think the best Afternoon Tea I have had. Thank you
Went for afternoon tea with a voucher from our birthday. They made us feel like we was second best to paying customers on the day. Only asked us if we wanted tap water with our food. When we asked for a warm drink we was waiting ages. The food was very tasteless. Totally left to feel ignored and ripped off. Would 100% not go back for afternoon tea. I’ve bought better at supermarkets.
It should be nicer than it is The place is beautiful and service really good. However the food is very mis matched. Prawns for starters spicy which is great but misses that creamy Marie Rose flavour. Chicken was ever so slightly dry, but the smoked cheddar croquette promised so much but was a bit tasteless. Sorry, I really wanted to like this but it just wasn’t that great.
Came here for the first time yesterday for afternoon Tea and free flowing proseco and was blown away with how lovely the place looked snd how attentive all the staff were. Very beautiful and warm atmosphere. Can't wait to come again x

This was an amazing night! Can’t fault the service, it was absolutely amazing! I went for my birthday and got free processo and a happy birthday pudding. Would highly recommend.
Big party. All Sunday lunch options still available. Alesha was amazing. Wine was also lovely and so much choice.
