madasfish Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Iv been to the Leopold Hotel a few times with friends as they live in London and we dont get to see each other often. We go as a treat and we have the sandwiches, scones, choice of a hot drink (hot choc is nice) and the glass of champagne. I would recommend it. Perhaps - as this is now two votes in favour - we were simply unfortunate the day we went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pennypie Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I know its a bit further that the middle of Sheffield, but we went to Chatsworth House a few months ago and it was absolutely gorgeous!! Would definitely recommend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bowler Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) Great ideas, thank you Actually this is what my mum wants to give us ...but it's a long old haul to London and thought this would make a nice alternative. And the other half is not as keen on the whole 'afternoon tea' option as I am. It's not JUST afternoon tea, it's an experience not to be missed, We took my M.I.L for her 80th and went first class on the train, got 4 seats for £80 return,taxi to the Ritz, What a day, I'll remember it all my life Edited December 28, 2010 by David Bowler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soft ayperth Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) The little cafe in the Botanical Gardens. We always go there when we visit Sheffield. Don't know when it's open though. Might be seasonal? Edited December 28, 2010 by soft ayperth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacecat Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 It's such a shame that 'Tuckwoods' no longer exists . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cytine Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 My Mum used to take me to Tuckwoods when I was a child. Does anyone remember "Davies" (I think it was called) in Haymarket, upstairs in the building opposite the Wilkinsons? Spotless white tablecloths, heavy cutlery, tea/coffee pots, and fast efficient waitresses. What lovely memories this has stirred. Thank you. I hope you find your teashop and have memories, like mine, that will last you a lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my favorite aunt's favorite spot so when we were kids she often took us there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynnandy Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I have used the search function but the threads are a few years old and wondered if anyone had a more recent experience. I'm looking for a lovely afternoon tea (the whole sandwiches, cakes and scones rather than a cream tea). I've seen Leopold Hotel and St Paul's. What are these like? We've been bought a Spa Experience at 1877 so wondered about going there mid morning, then walking down to somewhere lovely (a bit luxurious) for afternoon tea. So ideally somewhere in Sheffield rather than a drive away. Anyone had any lovely/awful experiences we should know about? Do try the Leopold Hotel, we had a voucher for afternoon tea through the Charity Unleashed booklet from Weston Park Hospital last year and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. So much so, that I would definitely pay to go and take my mum for mother's day etc. Lovely sandwiches, with a glass of champagne, choice of tea/coffee and homemade scones with jam and cream. Absolutely delicious and lovely staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Vader Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I had afternoon tea at a function at the Beauchief Hotel recently, and it was faultless, beautifully presented, and delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
