Afternoon Tea @1449 Restaurant, Bar Grill Crowne Plaza

We came and they had not our booking, I showed them the confirmation email and the dame said they would only do the festive tee, so she went and asked the cook or someone if we could have it for the same price. we have. when the food arrived, the tee was cold, and didn't think much about the tee at all, had much better disappointed.

Myself and my friend went for Afternoon tea at the Crowne Plaza Basingstoke on Sunday 29th September. We walked into the hotel which i have not been too since it has become the Crowne Plaza and has been refurbished. The hotel itself was stylish and smart and looks a lot better inside than out. First impressions of the service wasnt great the reason being is when i went to check in they had no booking under my name even though i had email confirmation of the date and time of my booking, they said that it wasnt put in their diary so organisation could be a bit better. Luckily as the restaurant was completely empty they managed to squeeze us in!! I would like to know what they would of done if they were fully booked on that day would they have turned us away? I'm hoping not as it was a mistake made on their part and not mine. After that drama was over we had a very pleasant Afternoon tea with Prosecco- it was definitely worth the money. This is not the hotels fault but i would of liked a few more people to have been around to create an atmosphere as it was just myself and my friend in a room by ourself.

My friends and I have had afternoon tea several times at Crowne Plaza. Whilst it was enjoyable we all commented that it wasn't as good as before. The sandwiches were a little boring and there seemed to be less scones and cakes. We used a Groupon deal, which made it good value but I would have been disappointed if I'd paid full price.

A nice way to have an afternoon tea. Plenty of food and we didn't need dinner.

Took my husband for Afternoon Tea and it was just perfect. Got a wonderful table near the window, friendly staff and quiet. Will definitely return
