What rebecca boomgaarden doesn't like about Afternoon Tea at Wivenhoe House Hotel:
Everything was delightful except for one thing. We ordered two mocktails, but when we received the bill, we saw that it said cocktails instead. We brought this to the attention of the manager, who admitted that we had been served alcoholic cocktails by mistake. He did deduct the price difference from the bill, but unfortunately, it made me sick for the rest of the night and even into today. View all feedback. What DianeS likes about Afternoon Tea at Wivenhoe House Hotel:
attended live music BBQ this weekend with two friends food choice was lovely and as always staff fantastic drink prices have gone up due to the government increase but overall lovely lunch View all feedback.

The Brasserie in Wivenhoe House offers a pleasant dining experience with a mix of positive and negative feedback. Some customers enjoyed the live music at the outdoor BBQ, while others found the formal atmosphere a bit stuffy. The food received mixed reviews, with some praising the quality while others found certain dishes lacking. The staff were generally commended for their friendliness and attentiveness, with some customers noting special touches for occasions like birthdays. Overall, the restaurant was seen as a reliable option for a good meal, though with room for improvement in certain areas.
