Everything was lovely except the cream for the scones which looked like it had been grated and we could not spread it. Not seen cream like this before and didn’t like it.
Obviously due to covid restrictions atmosphere is hard to rate. But the i was impressed with the safety measures put in place and felt safe at all times. The staff were also lovely so we had a lovely time in general. However, the food being one of the reasons we went really let it down. As someone who loves an afternoon tea I was really disappointed. The food lacked much flavour and the alcohol cakes weren’t very nice. Too little on offer and the sandwiches a little hard. In saying that, the scones were delicious which was great. A friend of mine had dietary requirements which were adhered too, however these options could be improved also as they were bland and stodgy. She was given a gluten free, vegan alternative when she was not gluten free or a vegan, just could not eat fish or have alcohol due to being pregnant. We would perhaps try again if the menu was different
fabulous food and service
Excellent, lovely afternoon tea, good choice of sandwiches and cakes
Last minute booking after a spa experience. Lovely food served in a great and safe environment
Great staff....attentive, polite, friendly and courteous. Loved the selection of sandwiches and cakes. Nice selection of tea, topped off with a couple of glasses of prosecco made it a perfect afternoon to end our trip round Wales before heading home.
ALL staff were friendly and helpful. Afternoon Tea was delightful and delicious - the sweet treats were a different take on mini cakes but made the tea a touch more interesting whilst still thorough enjoyable. Our first visit to Celtic Manor and the venue was great. Would certainly go again!!
We think that overall this is poor value. We were disappointed with the soggy sandwiches and slimey cakes. One of us had vegetarian sandwiches which seemed to be mainly tomatoe. We weren't told what the veg option was so we've no idea what we ate. We weren't offered a top up on hot drinks. The cream and jam in plastic little dishes made the experience feel cheap. Its all in the detail and this whole tea just felt very stingy. Not what we expected from a 5* hotel.
Special afternoon out.look forward to visiting again
Lovely Afternoon tea. Service was brilliant
Amazing food and service, cannot wait to come back again
Excellent service, catered to my allergy needs, wonderful surroundings, will definitely be returning
A very pleasant Afternoon Tea served impeccably by the staff and the food itself was delicious, unfortunately due to the Corona virus there were very few people so it lacked atmosphere.
Visited during Covid19 pandemic so not much atmosphere but not the fault of the hotel.
Thoroughly enjoyed but would have like a little more savoury sandwiches or at least been offered them. Staff were very attentive and professional as youd expect at the CM.
Even though we are in strange times I did feel that the staff could have been more pleasant. This would have made the experience more special. Using the app to order needs some fine tweaking.
Food was lovely....to look at and to eat!! Service was also perfect. Will definitely recommend your afternoon tea to others.
Superb
The afternoon tea was great but no atmosphere due to the lack of people presumably due to the coronavirus would definitely go again
I have visited in the past and was very disappointed yesterday. Maybe I’m old-fashioned but I like to think that afternoon tea is served in the traditional manner which would include table linen flowers and a cake stand certainly not served on what would amount to a slight cheeseboard. It can hardly be called service when you are not offered more tea and this platter of food all on one plateAnd then no one comes near nearby to offer you more tea. We chose to take our scones away with us. I appreciate these are not good times in light of coronavirus and crowds but the whole thing was sadly lacking for what amounted to nearly £50 was a great big Disappointment for my friends birthday treat
Lovely afternoon tea with a delightful selection of sandwiches and cakes. However, I thought that perhaps there could be more sandwiches and less cakes to balance it out more evenly.
Very pleasant experience
worse afternoon tea ever had. Totally poor quality food even shop bought cakes and scones warmed in microwave not what you would expect of this establishment. Need to take tips from Angel Abergavenny
Lovely afternoon, but I do think the parking should be included.
A lovely afternoon tea for my mum's birthday. The food was amazing, the staff very attentive and the venue was lovely. We will definitely be back x
