   Ok place, the afternoon tea was good in size, the sandwiches were the best bit. Strawberry jam too artificial, and the cakes were not the best. Even though we were asked to choose a hot drink they did not provide a menu or actually told us the possible options. I wouldn't go back as it's too expensive for e what you get. What

   I booked afternoon for 4 people 2 of whom were having special birthdays , we were very warmly welcomed by the staff, who were very polite and attentive, the food was delicious and we had copious amounts of tea, nothing was too much bother for the brilliant staff at Cafe 21 in Fenwicks Newcastle and the atmosphere was very calm even though there were quite a few people in the cafe. We would all 4 of us definitely go again. Well done everyone and your superiors should be very proud of their staff.

   The ambience was lacking for me in that its brightly lit, noisy , tables close together, hard furnishings. The service was lovely and very efficient . The environment was very clean and convenient.

    A very pleasant Champagne Afternoon Tea, given to use as a gift voucher. Very efficient service and a good range of plentiful food and drinks. This was our first time at Cafe 21 at Fenwick, although we have dined at the quayside restaurant many times before. I can recommend this as a gift, or other.

    As someone with a good allergy I cannot recommend cafe 21 more. My server changed the standard afternoon tea to suit my requirements and notified the kitchen. My food was served on a separate tray to others to prevent cross contamination 10/10 thank you so much!!!!

    We had a few dietary requirements which required fresh sandwiches to be made for some of the party and the staff were extremely accommodating of this. The staff were very friendly and always on hand to ask if we required further assistance or fresh refreshments.

    We have been here many times and always look forward to going. Start with service. It was generally very good but the tables are very small so when you have drinks, side plates and side of vegetables it couldn’t all be fitted on. Hence I dropped the mustard pot trying to make room. The mustard went all over the floor and on the next door diners trousers! This would not of happened if side plates and empty glasses had been taken away. The restaurant wasn’t particularly busy and there were plenty of staff. The food was very good generally but the roast beef was so salty. We drank water for at least 4-5 after the meal and still thirsty. I think the tables are too small for a Sunday lunch. We usually have breakfast or a light lunch when we go and therefore the space on the table isn’t normally an issue. We will return of course but maybe not for Sunday lunch.

    Afternoon tea with champagne was lovely and really good value my only complaint was that the cake selection had 3 types of desert cake that involved almond / frangipani flavour which I absolutely detest. The staff were excellent though and changed mine for me. This is the only reason I gave 3 stars for otherwise it would have been 4 if it there had been more variety .

    The tables at Cafe21 in Fenwick are too close together. It was very noisy with too many people crammed in. Service was a little slow. There was too much butter in the sandwiches and too little filling. The scones were too big and I would have liked a cheese scone.

    Did ask if any allergies, staff were nice and helpful, It was champagne tea for 2 at £55 it is quite expensive for what you get which is about 2 slices of bread with very little fillling. Cut into fingers. 4 bite size cakes 2 scones 2 jams and freshcream. Tea and coffee . It was a birthday treat

    Afternoon tea at cafe 21 Fenwicks Newcastle upon Tyne. February 2022 I booked Afternoon tea for myself and my cousin as a treat. The area we were sat at left no room for social distancing, in fact the whole cafe was crammed. The staff were run off their feet and most of them didn't look very happy, other than the lady who took us to our table, who was very polite. Our Afternoon tea arrived and was nicely presented, the food was freshly made and tasty, other than 2 of the cakes which were not to our taste. The main problem we had was having to ask for tea plates and cutlery after our food arrived! It was very difficult to catch a waitress to ask for this as they were so busy and distracted. No one was there to thank us or or see us out. I'm afraid I won't be returning or recommending anyone to cafe 21 in the future.

    I’ve experienced 21 several times, but this time was the worst. We never got asked if we had and dietary requirements, which is the ‘new normal’ for every restaurant. Other tables around us who came in after us were served, until fifteen minutes later, a guy came over. After I explained the intolerance, he reassured me everything was prepared fresh, and I’d be fine. So we ordered. Only to find the gravy would contain gluten, which I couldn’t have. There was nothing else he could do, so he picked the menu up and left. As did we. Worse experience from a regular of the 21 group.

    Restaurant week late lunch. Cheese soufflé to start (always good), then minute steak. Puds were chocolate tart and tropical sundae. Food generally very good - reason for only 4 stars for food was that chips were over salty. Value only 3 stars because although the headline amount was good, paying £5 for a few bits of bread was very steep. However, overall we enjoyed it a lot.
