Traditional Afternoon Tea for Two at Peckforton Castle

Perfect afternoon tea with fresh sandwiches and cakes. Staff were obliging and looked after us so well. Lucky it was a sunny day and we enjoyed the beautiful setting after.

Room a bit small and busy as the bar was at the back of the room. and wedding guests were trying to order drinks to take outside with them. Food was lovely and staff friendly.

This was given to us as a gift and we had a lovely afternoon. The castle is a beautiful setting and we would consider staying here. The staff were friendly and the afternoon tea itself was of a high standard, very fresh as well. We would have liked to have walked around the castle more but there was a wedding on and we didn’t want to get in the way.

The food was lovely and just the right amount. Service was pleasant but lacked the finesse that we were expecting from Peckforton Castle. On their website the experience is described as follows 'Afternoon tea is a well-known and loved English tradition and nowhere offers a more extravagant experience than our 2010 Brasserie. From the classic selection including finger sandwiches, French pastries and scones, to the indulgent choice including a glass of Joseph Perrier Champagne or a refreshing gin and tonic. Afternoon Tea at Peckforton Castle is unforgettable – for all the right reasons.' We felt that the staff required some training in keeping a more peaceful atmosphere and making it feel like an 'extravagant experience'. The atmosphere was similar to having afternoon tea at a local garden centre. We enjoyed it but were disappointed at the same time!!

An 80th birthday gift from a grandson, who also accompanied me to Peckforton Castle. First time there. It was magical. Lovely sunny day, and to complete the atmosphere there were several knights in full armour on horseback. What a sight, don’t know why they were there. The afternoon tea was served by very friendly staff and was delicious. Well done.

Excellent afternoon tea in lovely surroundings

Beautiful surroundings and very tasty afternoon tea

I received this afternoon tea gift voucher from colleagues and am so glad I chose to redeem it at Peckforton Castle. The service was prompt and friendly and the afternoon tea was delicious. Too many afternoon teas can be overwhelming but the portion sizes were perfect with a lovely mix of flavours. I’d certainly visit again.

Food was fine if fairly unimaginative. Five finger sandwiches, three little fancies plus one scone with cream and strawberry jam, followed by a pot of tea. Nice surroundings but a 250ml glass of Pinot Grigio at £9.90 seemed excessive and the service was somewhat slow.

I received this as a birthday gift and must say what a lovely experience it was from start to finish. Delicious, dainty afternoon tea, served by friendly, courteous staff, in a beautiful brasserie. The castle is an iconic setting and the atmosphere welcoming and calm. We enjoyed every minute of our experience and would highly recommend this.
