Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Dudley

A good friend travelled many miles to meet me. I chose the Ivy as I have been going there ever since it opened in Birmingham and eat in the many Ivy restaurants in London and elsewhere. I trust the menu and the wine list. Today the only things that went wrong were a polite request for the table I usually get or the second best table ( in my opinion). Yet having booked several weeks ago both were taken. When were they booked? Secondly the double espresso arrived cold. It was unlike the Ivy to do that. I have known all the previous managers but not the present one. I must introduce myself at my next visit.

Service and food (portions are generous) were excellent. The decor and mood of the restaurant was also very nice. The sweet anniversary treat was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend a visit if you like south asian cuisine.

I have been many times for Afternoon Tea and it never disappoints. Service and food were both excellent. The only thing I would like to say is the bottom of one of the scones was burnt and my friend couldn’t/didn’t want to eat it. We did let the waitress know at the time but only an apology was given.

Absolutely wonderful. Waitress was extremely good - polite and helpful. Coped very well when asked for a more complicated drink order (asking for what flavours you had in Gin). Food was delicious - extremely high standard of cuisine! Looked beautiful too. Really impressed. Loved the French music and atmosphere/decorations - a really lovely touch. The teacher was great supporting his waiting staff well but discretely :) The tiny macaroons were the cutest and loveliest burst of sweetness to end the evening! Thank you - will definitely book again.

Great food and service. Quick service from friendly staff. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. e had Chicken Liver Pate and Lamb Koftas to start and then a Spicy Chicken Burger with fries & Fish & Chips. Didn't have any room for dessert.
