Afternoon Tea At Parker's Tavern

Tom and I had a lovely afternoon at the University Arms, following several recommendations. The staff was efficient, courteous, and professional. The food was delicious, arrived quickly, and met our expectations perfectly.

A wonderful classic venue to spend a delightful afternoon. The atmosphere is very comfortable, the portions are generous, and the service is impeccable.

The staff at this restaurant are always incredibly attentive and polite, which truly makes a difference in the experience. However, there were a couple of negatives. The white bread had been somewhat mishandled, and initially, there wasn't enough food served. Considering that customers pay £40 each, plus drinks, for afternoon tea and receive only three tiny sandwiches along with less than two whole rounds of bread, it's essential to ask for more right away. Unfortunately, we then had to wait another 20 minutes, which felt quite long, especially since we were the first customers there. It seemed like the staff was overwhelmed, even though there were only two people visible serving at the time. On the bright side, the cleanliness of the building and the overall atmosphere remain excellent, making it my favorite place to visit for years. Just a few minor issues could improve this experience. We've also noticed slow service on occasion, but again, the staff was great throughout.

FOOD WAS VERY GOOD THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT. NICE SETTING,

Longer waits for food and drinks。 The staff can be more forgiving,
