Mother's Day cream tea. This was a wonderful day a treat for my mum. Food was wonderful especially the coronation chicken. The deserts were brilliant and we left full and happy. The young lady serving the upstairs was wonderful and friendly and nothing was to...much troubleMore

We both thoroughly enjoyed the food, friendliness and excellent service in the Dining Room. The sandwiches, pastries, scones and cakes were all delicious. I will definitely go again soon. The tea was nice and consistently refilled and all for the one price. Definitely worth a...visit, but allow at least and hour and a half as there is so much food you may struggle to eat it all. You get two food deliveries, savoury and sweet. We were there for 2 hours and took some lovely food home with us. A lovely location to catch up with old friends. Give them a try and I don’t think you will be disappointed.More

The dining room felt like a disused back room in someone's house; clean enough but not particularly inviting. The service was ok; the waitress was pleasant but we had to ask for extra drinks rather than being offered. Sandwiches were removed to make way for...the deserts and we assumed they'd be boxed up but unfortunately not. Remaining cakes we had to ask for them to be boxed up. The food was rather average; sandwiches and scones were nice (these were served warm and were very fresh) but the 'deserts' appeared to be defrosted (or had spent some time in the fridge getting a little soggy), clotted cream served in fridge packs, jam in a ramekin with no serving spoon, strange pink faircakes that would really only appeal to children. It's almost there but it's not quite hitting the mark.More

Amazing afternoon tea. Such good value in great atmospheric surroundings. Make sure you go to the museum next door as well. Booking is required for both the museum and afternoon tea.

Lunch combined with a visit to the Charles Rennie Mackintosh. We had, Coronation Chicken on a Ciabatta Roll; and Butter nut Squash, Hollumi, Pepper Humous on Ciabatta. Also 2 cloudy apple drinks.

Visited with friends this afternoon. Excellent afternoon tea of the best quality. Friendly attentive staff and lovely ambience make sure you visit

Wonderful afternoon tea on Easter Sunday celebrating my parents’ golden wedding anniversary. The food was delicious with a wide range of sandwiches and cakes, and the service was excellent. The owners catered for the gluten free members of our family perfectly - there was no...fuss and the gluten free food was yummy. I would highly recommended The Dining Room for any special occasion, as well as a quick coffee and cake.More

We visited yesterday after a visit to 78 Derngate - lovely way to end our 'tour' - we ate lunch in the Dining Room - excellent food and lovely service. Food quality was exceptional. My only comment is the Menu choices were not the same...as on the website so hubby was a bit disappointed as he'd set his sights on the gammon ham! However a Peroni beer soon took care of him! Two of us had coronation chicken sandwich in malted bloomer; one had a BLT and the other a smoked salmon salad with mini roasted new potatoes. Very tasty side of homemade 'chips' that were in fact potato slices with the skin on.More

My first time visiting here for afternoon tea and I was so impressed with the service and food here! There was a lovely selection of drinks and sweet and savoury goodies, and all tasted delicious. Thanks to the amazing staff for also adding a surprise...for my birthday and bringing out a cake and candle, was such a lovely gesture. Definitely recommend this place and I can’t wait to visit again! xMore

Upon coming here I was greeted very passionately by a young man who looked after me and my three friends everything was perfect and never had to wait that long for food or drinks as the staff was quick and efficient I would recommend coming...for the afternoon tea as it’s delicious and good for the price of £16.95More

After being let down at the very last minute by another Northampton establishment we rang the Dining Room to see if they could accommodate us for a 40th Birthday afternoon tea. We arrived less than ten minutes later and were absolutely delighted to find our...table decorated for the occasion with a banner and table confetti. The food was absolutely outstanding, A good selection of pillow soft sandwiches, the most amazing warm savoury scones with cheese and chutney, quiches and other savouries were just for starters. Next followed the most incredible array of cakes, macarons and warm fluffy scones with clotted cream. Gorgeous crockery, and a plentiful supply of tea, things could not have been any better or so we thought.......the staff then bought in a 40th birthday decorated brownie complete with candle and sang to the birthday girl. Service was attentive without being overbearing, what a brilliant afternoon. Thank you guys you made our day.More

I want to give the best review but also I have to be honest . The staff were lovely , we were served very quickly we had big pots of tea , couldn't fault the sandwiches they were lovely the garnish was slightly wilted ....The cakes and Scones were lovely I have been to quite a few afternoon teas in London but the cakes here were better . The cake on the top tier was gorgeous it was like eating a Rolo . This is the bit I have to say what I was thinking , the mirror in the corner was very dusty and the windows had finger marks on . As the room is small I think these little things make all the difference. Everything else was Excellent . I couldn't mark you down for such small things that not everyone would notice .More
