A warm welcome received from Shona before being shown to our table in a private-ish area of the dining room. Shona attended at all our needs in a friendly, professional, engaging manner. The tea itself was beautiful. 4 types of sandwiches, 2 scones each with lashings of clotted cream and jam, 4 different types of cakes. Unlimited hot tea all served in vintage china. A fab afternoon - thank you.

Beautiful afternoon tea served by Adam who was so attentive to all customers throughout the afternoon, a very polite friendly young man.
The afternoon tea itself was plentiful and we took the remainder home with us. Highly recommended!

Birthday Celebration Afternoon Tea The Wolversons Trip Advisor - October 2023

We liked the look of the George Hotel and booked an afternoon tea to celebrate my wife's birthday.
The part of the hotel where afternoon tea is taken is specially setup and decorated, it is very nicely presented.
The afternoon tea itself was very nice, I am a vegetarian and this was nicely catered for, the sandwiches were fresh and tasty, the scones were nice (and two each) and the cakes good too.
The service was great and we would like to specially mention Roger, who was excellent, making sure that we had a nice greeting and had everything that we wanted. It felt that a real effort was made to make my wife's birthday visit special.
Highly recommend, we will tell others and visit again soon.

The Most Wonderful Afternoon Tea WalsallEddy | Jan 2023

My friend and I went for her belated birthday celebration. The staff were amazing, checked if we had any dietary requirements and promptly bought me separate vegetarian sandwiches...when they discovered it was her birthday they presented a cake with a candle! It was fantastic value...I can't recommend it highly enough
