I was so excited to go for afternoon tea at the Royal crescent but I left bitterly disappointed.
This was a special occasion as I was celebrating my birthday and I had traveled from Cardiff to visit my daughter who is in uni.
Got off to a bad start when the server who greeted us made a comment which was supposed to be funny but I thought he was being serious. Note to staff, obtain a rapport with your customers before you try to be funny but end up embarrassing them.
We were booked in for the festive afternoon tea which I was very excited about. We were told we could order unlimited teas. This would be great if the staff who take your tea order actually brings it out to you. I had to ask multiple times.
As for the food, sandwiches were fine. Nothing special. Scones were lovely. Warm and buttery. The festive bun was a strange flavour and overpowering.
The sweet treats were the biggest disappointment. We didn’t enjoy any of the flavours. Very much style over substance. The polenta cake tasted like curry. The macaron was way too sweet.
Service continued to be poor. No one checked on us to ask if all was ok. Our plates were not cleared away and we were sat there for almost an hour before I called someone to ask for the bill.
I honestly wish i’d complained, especially considering how expensive it was. By that point, my daughter and I just wanted to leave.
It was a huge shame as it is a beautiful venue. Sadly I would not recommend and I will not be returning.

Enjoyed a wonderful afternoon tea, with an extra round of sandwiches & regular drinks tops up, including a switch to a decadent hot chocolate to finish. The Bath bun & scone were paticularly delicious. Excellent service, exquisitely decorated dining rooms with views onto the beautiful garden. Expensive, but worth it for a special treat.

A fabulous afternoon tea experience with our first visit to Bath! Some of the best scones we’ve ever had and were so light and fresh, with the Bath buns still being slightly warm in the middle!
Exquisite bites of cake and pastry and the finger sandwiches were divine too.
Cannot recommend the afternoon tea enough and the service was superb too!

We were a large group enjoying afternoon tea at Montagu’s Mews. Not the cheapest in town, but it felt very special and I can honestly say the quality of the cakes and scones were great.
The staff were attentive and personable. We never felt ignored. Lots of opportunities to try different teas and get sandwich top ups.
Also, the setting is very pretty. I can imagine the gardens in the Summer are beautiful

The “Classic Tasting Menu” was delicious and the menu able to be modified to be gluten free. Mackerel, lobster, beef, strawberries were featured. Wine pairings were complementary. Lovely live music jazz, Garden backyard at the Royal Crescent, made for sensational evening.

Amazing experience — we were offered unlimited selection of teas for no extra charge and the scones and bath buns were lovely.
Service staff was polite and made an effort to make sure our dietary restrictions were accomodated. There was a slight issue early on with incorrect sandwich serving but quickly rectified.
Overall — I would highly recommend this place. One of the best afternoon tea experiences.

Poor quality, badly timed service, and overpriced. We ordered the vegetarian tasting menu. The first three plates were cold dishes and therefore have been prepped in advance, yet they were served so slowly we had to wait an hour to get the first one. The flavour combinations didn’t work – the first starter tasted fishy, the leek dish was overpowered by parsley and other spices you couldn’t enjoy the leek, and the beetroot was overpowered by vinegar. The main was a mushroom and truffle risotto which was overly salted and congealed. The cheese was ok, but the dessert that was prepared with underripe passion fruit was completely disappointing. The wine list was decent and the bottle we ordered was the only redeeming quality of the experience. We expressed our views very clearly to the waitstaff at the time and while they picked up the pace on the service, the quality remained poor and the exorbitant bill received at the end was an insult.

We dined here yesterday and while the setting and service were genuinely lovely, the food itself was disappointing overall.
From a vegan perspective, the menu was fine but slightly underwhelming. Flavours were very muted across the dishes and the portion sizes were small. The one real standout was the beetroot dish, which was also the only warm dish I was served and, unfortunately, the most memorable part of the meal for the right reasons.
My wife is gluten-free and her menu was tailored, which we appreciated. However, the compromises made weren’t ideal. Additional vegan dishes were added for her, but these were also small and lacked depth of flavour. A cheese course was served before dessert, which felt a little odd, and the dessert itself had a grainy texture that didn’t land well.
From a food perspective, the experience didn’t quite deliver, especially given the expectations.
That said, the restaurant itself is beautiful, and the staff were exceptional – warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made the overall experience far more enjoyable than the food alone would have allowed.

Atmosphere and service was what you would expect from an establishment like the Royal Crescent Hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tea. I really appreciated the option of hot chocolate or coffee for non tea drinkers. Scones were served warm and the sandwiches were very fresh and the bread so moist and delicious. Desserts were visually pleasing with a taste to match! When we return to Bath, this place will be our first stop!

The first building most people usually think of when talking about Bath is The Royal Crescent – so I was thrilled to receive a present of Afternoon Tea in the well-renowned The Royal Crescent Hotel for my birthday. You feel like you’re stepping back into a regency drama as you enter through the doors. You make your way through the impressive hotel and gardens to their restaurant – Montagué’s Mews.
We took our seats and were then given a choice of teas or coffees. I went with a ‘Chocolate Brownie Tea’ which was surprisingly delicious – I would highly recommend trying it. You can try a variety of teas or coffees as they offer top-ups throughout the experience.
The main attraction then came shortly afterwards. It featured 3 tiers of delicious sandwiches, cakes and scones. Every element of the Afternoon Tea was impeccable, much like the ambience and service. The highlight had to be the Bath Bun, which was a real sugary treat, alongside the Patisserie items. They also offered a free top-up of the Sandwiches which was generous.
We enjoyed a glass of Champagne alongside our Afternoon Tea, and it all felt rather extravagant – but that’s what Afternoon Tea is all about. There was a beautiful outdoor seating area too, which I imagine would be wonderful to enjoy your Afternoon Tea outside if the sun was shining.
Overall, the entire experience was superb and I cannot fault a thing. Every element of the Afternoon Tea was delectable, the service was impeccable and the surroundings were wonderful. If you’re looking for a treat while you’re in Bath – I would highly recommend a visit to The Royal Crescent Hotel for Afternoon Tea at Montagué’s Mews.
