Wonderful
We visited the White Swan in Alnwick. Everything about the experience was wonderful, from the meet and greet to the goodbye. Food was delicious and plentiful, staff were exceptional. I didn’t realise that the room - the Olympic suite, was an actual dining room taken from RMS Olympic - sister ship of the Titanic. Beautiful experience - thank you.

Delicious Champagne afternoon tea
You are told it's 2 sandwiches per person but it's actually 2 fillings from a choice of 5- you receive 2 sandwiches per filling + an additional sandwich of smoked salmon. 2 small scones with jam & cream, deconstructed rum & raisin cheesecake, slice of ginger & orange cake, apple & blackberry crumble tart, sherry trifle & mixed berry compote with crumble topping & shortbread biscuit. The champagne was very good.

Was given the afternoon tea voucher as a gift and had a lovely time! A beautiful location, friendly staff and a delicious selection of sandwiches and cakes. Very accommodating for gluten free intolerances with their own selection. It’s great that they now allow you to choose the sandwich fillings meanin you know you’ll enjoy what they bring out. Will definitely be back!

Great Afternoon Tea
Excellent sparkling tea with fresh strawberries and melted chocolate to dip into as a finish. There was a variety of cut sandwiches to choose from and they were made at time of ordering so really fresh. Fruit scones with clotted cream were excellent too.As many lattes as you want. Overall,an excellent afternoon. Would recommend.

Champagne Afternoon Tea, Farington Lodge, Leyland
This was an excellent Afternoon Tea. The waiter was attentive and friendly and the food was delicious. We were offered a choice of sandwiches and the selection of cakes was varied and delicious. We were very full. We enjoyed our glass of champagne and were offered several refills of tea to drink. An experience we would recommend.

Old Swan
Surroundings were very nice/quaint, scones were a bit on the dry/hard side for us and they forgot the champagne but other than that, we did enjoy the experience.

Champagne afternoon tea
Went to the White swan hotel in Alnwick. Food was very nice and the staff were all very friendly. The ambience of the hotel is great. The only reason I didn't give 5 * was I was hoping to see the renowned panelling but it was in a different room which had a corporate do on. Maybe next time. Myself and my daughter had a lovely afternoon and I would recommend it.

relaxing treat.
What a fabulous time. Location was beautiful and the service was second to none. The food was faultless and of course the champagne was pure indulgence. We will definitely do this again.

Could do better
The tea was pretty basic really. Tetley T-bags , no choice of other more upmarket tea. Sandwiches were OK but nothing special. Cakes were Ok, again nothing special. One scone each and three small 2-bite 'fancies' , i.e. cheese cake 'bite', miniscule apple pastry 'mini bite'. It was all put on the table at the same time after which not one member of staff came to see if all was well. Only one plate for sandwiches and cake; no napkin.

Okay but could be better
Although the staff were great the cakes and scones with the afternoon tea were not the best. Some sandwich fillers were not available.

Just ok
Upon arrival to the lodge it looked closed, it wasn't well signposted to where to go (reception) We tried the main door which was unlocked & walked it, I approached reception, a warm hello from the lady, I stated I had a table booked her reply was have you a Voucher? (Coldly) I was then seated at a table (Rushed) The food looked pleasant but was extremely lacking in flavour very poor cakes, sandwiches were ok. I wouldn't be in a hurry to return, which is a shame! Staff was attentive tho.

Disappointing experience to say the least!!!
My wife and I were very disappointed with this, felt that it was overpriced and not very good quality for the money which will have been paid for this Virgin experience. The room that we sat in was cold, so much so that my wife was unable to take her jacket off. Our afternoon tea was brought to us without any champagne. We had to ask which was very embarrassing. The cakes consisted of two small scones and the cakes were pieces cut from larger ones and not individual ones. Very poor overall 😔
