What a delight the afternoon tea was on Tuesday. I was spoilt for choice with the menu and what I did choose was delectable. Taking home my ‘goody’s’ bag with extras was a bonus. All this presented with a smile, what more can anyone ask for. Thank you, and I hope to return soon.

Had a fantastic afternoon tea here. We have quite large appetites but couldn't eat it all! Everything is beautifully presented and the service is very warm and friendly. A lovely oasis in a busy city. Will definitely visit again. Very reasonably priced.

Booked an afternoon tea for the family on my wife’s 60th Birthday, Polite staff & Good food, we booked the table well in advance , and arrived just before our 2pm time slot, however we had to wait 30mins for the sandwiches etc to be served at the table .

This was our first time to the tea room and I made the mistake of booking afternoon tea without looking at the price on the website beforehand. It's not to say it is really expensive because it's not, it's a little above average price for afternoon tea, but I read on Google that it was between £1-£10, so as such I was expecting less than £49 for two people. It was entirely my fault for not checking the menu on the website directly. Anyhow, I had paid £10 deposit and the member of staff I spoke to was very polite and professional and said it was okay if we just wanted to have a tea and a cake or similar. We did indeed have a tea and a raspberry chocolate brownie each and this came to about £15 in total. Both were absolutely delicious and we left happy and satisfied. Highly recommend Pettigrew Tea Rooms.

Had a super time. Food and tea selection was superb and we appreciated the ability to choose individually. Service was very good with friendly and enthusiastic staff. Building was quaint and charming. Looking forward to visiting again.

Visited Pettigrew with my niece, have been coming here for a few years and have always enjoyed the gluten free options being a coeliac, but I must say on this occasion I was tremendously let down, the gf scone was extremely dry, the gf bread was very unusual (you can tell this was manufactured), in fact the slices of bread were tiny, almost impossible to make a sandwich with, maybe next time Pettigrew could use a gf bloomer and slice it themselves? The gf cake (almond and orange) was very burnt, both top and bottom making it difficult to eat. I did bring the dry scone to the managements attention, they were very understanding and said they had a new chef, I was too embarrassed to mention the other issues with the food. Wish I had, as I spent £49 and feel it was a total waste of money. Service and staff were lovely!
