We had a fantastic afternoon tea experience at the Stratford Park Hotel & Golf Club. An experience that stood out as one of the real highlights of our stay there and a testament to the hotel’s commitment to culinary excellence.

A feast for the eyes

From the moment our afternoon tea arrived, the presentation alone was a feast for the eyes. Each part was abundantly and thoughtfully prepared, showcasing great care in the arrangement of delicate sandwiches, freshly baked scones, and beautiful little cakes. The attention to detail was evident in every element, promising a delightful indulgence before even the first bite.

A luxurious and satisfying vegan afternoon tea

What truly impressed us was the seamless quality between both the traditional and vegan options. Often, vegan alternatives can feel like an afterthought, but here, both offerings were equally impressive. The vegan sandwiches were imaginatively filled, bursting with fresh, vibrant flavours, while the plant-based scones were light and fluffy, perfectly accompanied by fruit preserves and a rich vegan butter. Similarly, the vegan sweet treats were not only delicious but also intricately crafted, rivalling their conventional counterparts in both taste and aesthetic appeal. It was clear that the kitchen had put immense care and creativity into ensuring that every guest, regardless of dietary preference, could enjoy an equally luxurious and satisfying experience.

Fresh and balanced

Savouring each bite, we appreciated the freshness of the ingredients and the balance of flavours. The sandwiches offered classic comforts alongside innovative combinations, while the scones, still warm from the oven, were a true delight. The array of patisserie provided a sweet crescendo, each miniature creation a mouthwateringly delicious bite.

Amazing service

The service provided by Ahmed and Lilly during our afternoon tea was second-to-none, elevating our experience to the next level. Both were incredibly friendly, greeting us with genuine warmth that immediately made us feel welcome. Their kindness and courteousness were evident in every interaction, from their attentive anticipation of our needs to their thoughtful recommendations. They navigated the balance between professional efficiency and personal charm with remarkable grace, ensuring our comfort and enjoyment throughout, making their service a standout element of our stay.

This afternoon tea at Stratford Park Hotel & Golf Club perfectly encapsulated the hotel’s dedication to providing a memorable and high-quality experience for all its guests.
