    I have had a lot of afternoon teas and this was by far the worst I've ever had. On menu there were a selection of different afternoon teas but we weren't asked which one we'd like just told to let them know when we wanted our food and then it was just plonked in front of us. We had to request tea to be brought to the table even though it's supposedly afternoon tea (the clue is in the name). No idea if there were different kinds of tea to drink as we weren't given the option. The food was awful. The ham sandwiches had so much mustard on them, we choked, the scones were so flat and hard they were basically biscuits, and the cakes looked like a child could have made them. Service was awful despite there being only one other table to wait on. Our plates were cleared away, including the saucers and spoons for the tea cups, while were still drinking our tea. The staff clearly wanted us gone as quick as possible so they could get back to joking around and hanging out together outside in the sunshine. A male staff member asked one of our party what they'd been doing in the toilets when they returned from the bathroom and then laughed, which was really weird and inappropriate. I've never experienced that anywhere ever and I don't understand why they would ask anyone that. Definitely wouldn't recommend and won't ever be returning!

    What could be a great asset to Petts Wood, some of the male serving staff are very rude, unfriendly, unhelpful and lazy. One of the barman was extremely rude and unhelpful and makes you wonder what he is doing there. Puts you off returning.

    OMG! Towie meets Love island! It was awful. Like Madame tudauds! Fake plastic women with attitude. Selfies galore. Look at me ! I'm so gawgus? Really you look awfull love. Love me love myself. The place was more like a comedy store. NOW FOR THE best part. THE SATFF ARE PROGRAMMED TO SERVE YOU DOUBLES AND CHARGE YOU FOR THEM WEATHER YOU WANT THEM OR NOT! The bar is slow and you Will wait a minimum or 15 mins to get a drink. I can honestly say this is by far the worst venue I have ever visited. BUT ON A PLUS SIDE .... If you want an evening of watching semi naked women taking selfies of themselves and grown men old enough to be parents making fools of themselves whilst spending a fortune buying drinks to get there wicked ways this is definitely the place to come!! Over priced! Over rated and definitely a comedy club more than a so called wine bar !!!

    We had my daughters baby shower here. The afternoon tea was lovely, very fresh and good value for money. The service was spot on and we were made to feel really welcome.

    Went here for afternoon tea with my partner and we were very impressed. We had plenty of mini sandwiches (in 3 different flavours, all tasty) and loads of cake - so much so that we ended up taking home a lot of it, so it felt like it was good value for money. Great service too - friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend!

    Nice atmosphere and drinks choices however past 9pm it's like it becomes a club but without the space for it, difficult to get to the bar and toilet and took ages to get drinks

    Visited on Friday evening for the first time, I know it has been open for ages but live gets on the way. Anyways, I was thinking I would be the oldest one there and felt anxious, but hey there were people at different ages. Great buzzing atmosphere, music and service were good too. We had a couple of cocktails and some other drinks, regular standard prices. No idea why some people saying is overpriced. Next to book: their afternoon tea with my girls

    First time visit today, Music blaring to an empty bar... Wonder if the staff have hearing problems or volume knob is stuck on max?... Decent little bar, shame about the volume

  • 5/5 Becky G. 1 year ago on Google
    Been a few times and really like the atmosphere. Drinks are a good price and service is good. Music could be slightly more modern that’s the only thing I would say.

  • 5/5 Christine G. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a great evening full of dancing, drinking and laughter. The music was fantastic and staff very friendly. Lovely atmosphere and nice to see a place with all age groups just having a good time.

    Wednesday 3rd August I was taken here by my friend for afternoon tea with bottomless prosecco. We had come on the bus which was hot, and we were greeted by the most delightful waitress, and the AC was working well. We asked for water which came immediately with ice and lemon. We then had prosecco and commenced the afternoon tea. The sandwiches were delicious, super fresh and without crusts. I mentioned it was my birthday and the waitress brought us 2 shots of a strawberry liquor on the house - a nice touch. We were there for well over 2 hours and she brought us a few more sandwiches. The food served was well balanced and not too much cake. We were also offered tea or coffee and opted for 2 lattes. Our glasses were topped up without asking and also some more water was brought without asking, The seating was excellent and I cannot recommend it highly enough. We hope to return to try one of their sharing platters with a glass of fizz.
