Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Elmer

We had an exceptional experience during our visit. The outside staff went above and beyond by assisting me as I arrived with my baby and two toddlers in tow. Their kindness and attentiveness made us feel very comfortable, and the entire staff exceeded our expectations. The afternoon tea was delightful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. There were a couple of other families with toddlers and babies as well. My own toddlers, aged 3 and 6, were seated throughout the meal. Once they finished eating, they were excited to see the Christmas tree outside and walked a little quickly in their excitement. Unfortunately, one of the other guests, an older gentleman, commented rudely, asking us to control the children. While we understand that shared spaces require mutual respect, we felt it was an unnecessary remark, as public places naturally involve a lively atmosphere. Despite this minor incident, the staff’s exceptional service and the lovely ambiance made our visit truly enjoyable. Definitely will visit again

We enjoyed our Xmas Eve lunch, service and ambience great, food was good, particularly the desserts - bit disappointed with my gluten free yorkshire puddings which were a bit dense and stodgy. I make them at home so I know they can be light and fluffy, however I was pleased to be offered them at all as many restaurants don’t. Drinks are a little more expensive here than you might expect but extensive choice. Overall experience was very good, love the location at the foot of the downs, and look forward to a return visit.

Lovely evening, with very good service. Especially from the very attentive gentleman from Serbia, and the gentleman from Argentina! So sorry to have forgotten their names. A very special place, with so much history.

Excellent afternoon tea for Christmas/friends birthday combined. Great staff and service. Will be back.

Lovely restuarant in what looks like a medieval hall. Asparagus starter followed with venison Wellington. Cheese to finish. Nice bottle of Fleurie. Drinks outside to start. Highly recommended.
