Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Stanley

Very polite helpful staff. The food and drink service was very good. When in Newcastle it is a regular stop for Us.

One of us is gluten intolerant & sometimes the menu can be a little restricted but I was pleasantly surprised to find there as plenty of choice. The venue is light & airy with plenty of space between tables. The staff were very polite & well trained & the food, which was delicious, was served on time. We’ll definitely be back.

Had a lovely afternoon food was really good staff very attentive

I had the chicken tikka masala with salad and the most beautiful chips. The meal was very tasty, and well presented, rather too much for me, but what I didn’t eat was boxed up for me ready to take home. My husband had pie vegetables and chips, full of carbs, but a real treat for him. The plate was soon clean and a very happy husband with a big smile on his face sat opposite me.

We received a voucher for Blackfriars for Christmas. Booking was easy online. We arrived slightly early but our table was ready. The restaurant was not busy when we arrived and enjoyed the background music. Service was very good and we asked if we could mix and match between the menu’s and they said it was fine to do that. We ordered the fish platter to share which was really nice. I ordered the fillet steak, it was perfectly cooked to the way I like it and the chips were amazing, I ordered the beef dripping jus which was delicious. My husband ordered the corn fed chicken, again this was delicious. We had no room for desert so can’t comment on that. My husband also had the larger brewed onsite which he said was very nice. Only fault I would say is they put a service charge of 10% on your bill but it is explained it is not mandatory. Definitely will be back.
