Whittle's Restaurant — Restaurant in Warwick

Afternoon Tea at Whittle’s It’s a full 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for service, ambience, quality food

It’s always tricky when you’re looking for something “special “ especially when catering for your Mum and Aunts birthdays 🍰 with the added difficulty of being out of town so you have no one to reference and only have the reviews. I’m also sceptical of reviews when they are all 5 stars especially when it comes to a dining experience, we all know how many good establishments use family and friends for those! So it’s always a bit of a gamble. When it comes to a quintessentially English Creme Tea, in my opinion it needs to have great food with just as great ambience and decor, the setting has to be just right. Whittles offers all that plus more, the staff went out of their way to make this day extra special, from making the booking to being greeted on arrival every staff member was professional and friendly. Our waitress was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly, attentive in the right quantity. All dietary requirements were met and the kitchen went out of their way to tweek the menu to suit. Our choice of a Savoury Creme Tea didn’t disappoint, the cheese scones with bacon jam were fantastic. There was more than enough to eat, The Lady Grey Cocktail was well presented and thoughtfully created which tasted great. All this for a bargain price of £21.95 , they also presented both Mum and Aunt with a Rose & Pistachio Birthday Cake which ensured they both felt extra special and enjoyed the experience even more. As if that wasn’t enough I also got a 25% extra off the bill (offered throughout August 2019).Thank you to all at Whittle’s you get a full 5 stars in my opinion and we will be back....

Savoury afternoon tea for two at 15:30. We had the restaurant to ourselves, music playing in background, restaurant looked lovely. We were greeted, seated and served by a young man, who initially was very attentive and polite and gave us the impression that we were in for a treat. We asked for one of the egg sandwich to be replaced by an additional cheese sandwich, which we were told was no trouble. We were informed at the start that endless hot drinks were included in the price and our choice of drinks could be charged during the sitting. Afternoon tea was brought to the table by a lady. Unfortunately, as requested the egg sandwich had not been replaced by an additional cheese sandwich and we were warned that we may want to wait for the scotch eggs to cool down as they were hot and runny. The sandwiches, quiche and savoury scones were tasty. After being served and during our 1.5 hour sitting we were not again approached by a member of staff. We had to call someone over to ask if we could have a second drink, the coffee latte was freshly made, but the filtered coffee was obviously not fresh. We had to leave the table and approach a member of waiting staff to ask for the bill and to pay. On leaving the restaurant, we seen no members of staff and left without a thank you or goodbye. A shame as £60 was spent for a birthday celebration and it was definitely not the service or experience we were expecting. However, on paying the bill, we were informed they were busy preparing for a Burns night celebration, so maybe we just choose the wrong day and time...

Lovely afternoon tea. We had both the traditional afternoon tea and the savoury afternoon tea and both were delicious. The scotch egg was the best we’ve ever tried and the scones were light and fluffy with a crisp exterior. The staff really made us feel very welcome. We had 2 young children in our party and the staff went out of there way to make them comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble. We could change the sandwich fillings (plain ham rather than with sun dried tomatoes, just salmon instead of a mixture) to suit our taste. The staff came over often to see if we needed more tea or coffee (free refills). The afternoon tea was served in a beautiful room (spotlessly clean) with a relaxed atmosphere. Can’t fault anything about our afternoon tea. Thank you so much 😊 and once more a big thank you to the man serving us, he was really friendly and helpful. Will...
