Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Deeping St. James

What a little gem, can't believe this is so close but had never been, stunning interiors and beautiful food. Our young waiter Jack was a pleasure, with big smile on his face and great attitude, made a lovely experience a great experience. All staff were lovely and friendly and the food was excellent. We regularly eat out and this was a lovely suprise.

We were at Doddington Hall and the room we were in was large and well decorated with many lights and a large Christmas tree and welook out to a layer of genuine snow, it looked so Christmassy. We were well looked after and served with a super Cream Tea. It was delicious.

The staff were so kind and attentive. They offered us an extra Prosecco as we were celebrating a birthday. We also loved the scones; they were not sugary and were so crispy on the outside. The savory options could be improved.

Lovely setting, beautiful savouries and scones. For the price there were far too many sweet treats- these were lovely but became simply inedible due to the sheer size and amount. The amount of pistachio crème on the mince pie was somewhat sickly and I think substance over style would be more appreciated. Our waiters were lovely though, and nothing was too much. Also- it would be nice to have proper boxes to take sweet treats home in as again, it was simply impossible to eat that much sugar in one sitting.

extraordinary! good service and exquisite cakes and sandwiches.
