1838 Latimer Estate - Chesham

Lovely setting, helpful staff. Scones were freshly baked. More variety of savouries as well as bread used for sandwiches would have been good.

So disappointed! Took my elderly mother in law as a treat after recently loosing her husband. On arrival the entrance steps covered in cigarette buts and litter. Waited for 40 minutes and was ignored by all staff so we left! Service was the worst ever. We literally sat with 3 empty tea cups for 40 minutes looking at a drunk man who was asleep with his head on the table fro a wedding the previous evening. Go somewhere else and don’t waste your money

Had afternoon tea on Mother’s Day, and can confirm the restaurant is family friendly. We had a chatty 4 year old, and he’s given activity packet with colouring etc, so I do have a hour or so to myself. On the day we visit, great customer service, as the restaurant wasn’t too busy during lunch hour.

The restaurant staff were efficient, polite, and attentive, but never overbearing. The chefs are well organised and delivered fantastic food, time and again throughout a very busy service.

This was a special occasion for us and the location and ambience was really good. After tea and biscuits we had the full afternoon tea service which was really pleasant and service was good. A good touch was a free extra with a Happy birthday plate containing a further small cake and strawberries. A memorable occasion which we would repeat at a future time and really recommend. A slight improvement would be to give good instructions for finding the exact restaurant location within Latimer House from the car park.
