What Smt310561 likes about Afternoon Tea At Bedford Lodge:
Visited for the Easter children’s Afternoon Tea on Good Friday with 4 Grandchildren. This was absolutely lovely, so well done with great food for both the children and the adults. Everyone was made very welcome and all the food was so well presented, with refillable drink for the children included in the price. A great selection of sandwiches and cakes including a chocolate plant pot filled with chocolate mousse and... View all feedback. What SteveRiley doesn't like about Afternoon Tea At Bedford Lodge:
My partner's birthday and afternoon tea paid for by her family. It took 3 hours to serve a very mediocre tea insufficient savouries and a deluge of poor sweets. The straw that broke the camel's back was the plate decorated with Happy 60th birthday. For the avoidance of doubt she is far from 60. Overpriced and poor service typical of main hotels in provincial towns. View all feedback.

Bedford Lodge offers a picturesque setting for afternoon tea, but experiences vary significantly. While some patrons praise the friendly service and value for money, others lament stale sandwiches and a lack of attentiveness. Highlights often include scones and a decent selection of teas, yet the overall quality of cakes and sandwiches leaves much to be desired. Suggestions for improvement include better cake selections and a more generous food offering. Despite its charming ambiance, many frequent diners express hesitance to return unless significant upgrades are made to the afternoon tea experience.
