Fabulous festive afternoon tea, great service with very fresh sandwiches. Best scones I've ever had, whilst small they were so tasty. Definitely recommend, beautiful building and fab attentive service

We had afternoon tea. The food was delicious, the staff were so friendly and kind (making an extra special effort when they learnt that it was mine and my sister's birthday). The setting is really lovely too. I thoroughly recommend it and will definitely visit...again soon.More
As a regular visitor to Leamington i knew of this building, having drove past it more times than i can remember but had never had the pleasure of being inside it, until today. Me and my mum had a savoury and a sweet afternoon tea...to share between us: Sweet £23.50 and Savoury £25 On arrival we recieved a bottle of free water for the table and unlimited top ups of a selection of teas (coffee, hot chocolate and prosecco also for an extra fee) Food arrived after about 15-20 mins after arrival which we were pleased with as it indicated freshness and the sandwhiches and cakes being made from scratch rather than coming out immediately after being prepared earlier and sat around for hours. We also like taking our time eating/talking and making an occassion out of it rather than being in and out in 30 minutes. Good selection of sanwiches, savoury bits and cakes across both teas. Everything tasted delicious and was well presented. The afternoon tea is served in the restaurant upstairs. The entire building and tea room are beautiful offering a relaxed, comfortable and elegant ambience. Service from every waiter/waitress was polite and attentive. Will certainly be returning in the future as we felt Wittles over delivered on quality and taste and is very reasonably priced for what you recieve. We certainly were made to feel special in this Grade 2 listed building, a nice change from the everyday.More
Lunch and afternoon tea. Lunch was delicious, beautifully presented and tasty. Afternoon tea is too expensive for what it is, I'd expect actual smoked salmon not salmon pate. The sandwiches are not sophisticated fillings, more childlike than adult palate. Service is very slow even with...no other residents to be served in the restaurant. A pity as it's a beautiful surroundingsMore
Went for afternoon tea as it was my 70th and my friend belated 70th. We asked for one sweet tea and one savory tea. But we never had scotch egg, quiche or a sausage roll. The amount we had was not worth the money as...I am sure it was just for one person and not two. We were not asked if we wanted anymore tea either. We were the only 2 in a huge room and really could have sat us where there were others. So there was no atmosphere. Also whilst we sat there they were moving tables around which I didn't like at all. The place is lovely and very clean. But not worth the money as feel cheated out of the savory tea.More
Afternoon tea with unlimited prosecco for 1.5 hours! Fantastic food, ambience, service and value for money. Thank you Whittles, I hope you put on another promotion like this one soons!
We booked online for high tea which on the confirmation stated the price of set menu for 2 table was ours for 1.5 hours waiting half an hour for a hot drink then further 10 minutes for our food was only when we paid the...price was double what the booking said ! Nowhere does it say price per person so do beware as £47 for 2 people is very steep for what you get !More
Wonderful evening, start to finish My wife’s 70th birthday , the staff /food /surroundings were perfect,
We visited for a birthday lunch to celebrate my father’s birthday. What a joy! The food was superb with such fresh flavours. The menu was not overwhelmingly long (this is a good point for us!) and we all loved our choices. Our waiter was extremely...courteous, helpful and had such warmth. We were so pleased we had chosen Whittles. Dad felt very well looked after and we all intend to return. The decor at Whittles is glorious and it’s lovely to see inside this historic building which I used to drive past when it was a sixth form school. It has been beautifully restored.More
We came here for lunch and were very impressed. Lovely setting with light streaming in from the large attractive windows. Good chairs with padding and white tablecloths - a proper restaurant. Service was friendly, and others who were regulars were greeted by name and their...favourite drinks brought. Food was delicious- well balanced, good portions and reasonably priced. I had difficulty deciding between so many options that I liked. Good choice of wines by the glass but also fancy soft drinks at reasonable prices. Good for afternoon tea or lunch, but they close early in the evening.More
12 of us had afternoon tea, just wow, it was amazing, the sandwiches and cakes were all delicious. The staff were so helpful, friendly and accommodating, especially our server James, nothing was too much trouble for him. This was a surprise for my sister Linda’s...70th birthday, we all thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon and will definitely be returning very soon.More
I traveled from Japan to drop my daughter off at Warwick University. Wanted a delightful meal for me, my Mum and especially my daughter. I'd searched and searched for an excellent restaurant and thought I had found one. Then I got this email the day...before we were traveling up to drop her off in this once-in-a-lifetime experience: "I can only apologize that no one has answered your query. I’m just picking this up now. However, we have had a last-minute wake book in for an owner of one of our apartments so we will not be open to the public that day or evening im afraid, I can only apologise for the short notice as it is a last minute thing to us also so we will unfortunately have to cancel the booking for tomorrow evening. If there are any other dates, please let me know and ill take a look for you." sent the day before the booking, reserved 3 weeks before. I suspect, as it is a death, that the restaurant would have had more notice than this, but left me hanging last minute. I do not appreciate it. I am sympathetic to their cause, but not the day before.More
Although we booked some time ago it was the right place to visit when outside temperatures were 31c. The setting for our afternoon tea was just delightful. Sympathetically and tadtefully decorated in shDes of blue. Now let's get down to the aftetnoon tea. We couldn't...fault it. We had both the savoury ( a generous assortment of sandwiches, mini quiches, pork pie and superb sausage rolls as well as cheese scones) The sweet selection had mini trifle, macaroon, dainty little cakes and sweet scones with clotted cream and jam. The staff engaged with us and were professional and efficient, answering any questions with humour. It was all delicious. We will certainly visit again to eat in this beautiful buildingMore
Visited for our anniversary, I only have one word to say...wow. Just wow. Really friendly staff from the first minute, and very helpful. We'll definitely be back. Thank you so much for making our day special.
The food was really good and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. The desserts we had were a particular highlight.
