Food is good, ambiance is nice, servers are accommodating. However, the service is dead slow! Been here a few times and the food always comes late. Every time we dine here, it takes about an hour to get our food. It?s good, but could?ve been great.

Spa is nice but private bookings are not respected, random strangers will walk in during your activities and the spa staff do not tell them to leave

I?ve had afternoon tea a few times over the past number of years in Galgorm. However I have to say I was disappointed when I took my mum just a couple of weeks ago.
The service was excellent but the food was disappointing for the price.
The small savouries were tasty but only one sandwich!
In particular the sweet treats didn?t look or taste home made, we left most of them!
There was no miniature soup or trifle/ cheesecake as previously.
I remember the first time I walked into the conservatory I thought Wow because of The beautiful centre floral arrangement and decor but I?m afraid this time it all looked a bit tired including the furniture.
Sorry, but I came away feeling let down and still hungry.
Not what I expected for £42.50 per person!

My husband and I had the afternoon tea in the conservatory today. We usually aren?t the biggest of fans of afternoon tea but we gave this a chance in of our dining package and it was absolutely phenomenal. Every single part was delicious and so beautifully presented. The staff were lovely and the wonderfully talented man playing piano took it to another level with the amazing music. The conservatory itself is stunning and so beautifully decorated. I?m not usually a big tea fan but I tried mint tea and loved it and my husband loved his. I was especially delighted to see how much my husband enjoyed it, as we booked our stay for over the weekend for his birthday. I have never been to an afternoon tea that made me want to do it again at a later date but I can say I have been now. I recommend this to anyone

Always love afternoon tea here. This was part of a family gift. Nice selection of sandwiches and treats. Can?t give 5 stars due to asking for a top up of tea which we never got, normally I can get through 2 pots of tea anywhere I go for afternoon tea so disappointed that the service wasn?t up to normal standard for Galgorm.

Attended The Conservatory for afternoon tea the Thursday after Christmas Day. It came as part of a Spa Package booked as a Christmas present, and it didn't disappoint. The service was first class on all fronts, and the Afternoon Tea was tasteful and filling. We would definitely recommend the place, an excellent end to a wonderful relaxing day.

Afternoon Tea at the Galgorm on Saturday past was such a disappointment. Seriously not value for money. The hot/savoury selection consisted of 5 small items and 1 finger sandwich followed by 4 sweet treats each and scones. I have had afternoon teas in other establishments at half the cost and they were far superior. The pictures on the hotel's website certainly does not depict a true picture of what they serve.

My Husband and I often go to the Galgorm , but disappointed in the value for money in the afternoon tea, this time it's like everything has shrunk. Food delicious, Fabulous friendly staff, Someone needs to rethink this experience

Was excited for afternoon tea as it was Halloween theme. And my friends birthday and she?s never had afternoon tea before. Lovely window seat overlooking the window. Man sat us down and straight away asked for allergies then said someone will be with you shortly! Not a great greet to say the least. A lovely blonde lady in a Navy uniform came to take our order and explained everything to us was so friendly. The savouries were nice however the beef was so so pink almost raw. We waited 25mins for these to arrive. The same lady asked me if I wanted more tea or coffees, iced coffee, so we decided to go for iced coffee I didn?t realise you could go for iced coffees which was great. Then chatted a little with us. The sweets was great for the theme and loved the middle course of the chocolate graveyard. Another lady with glasses with a tie and waist coat that brought the sweets was so lovely she looked exhausted with a red face and looked as if she hadn?t a minute while the man that seated us was stuck to a laptop. The 3 ladies made my afternoon tea a wonderful service great sweets.

What a great surprise to find such a lovely place beside a beautiful river! Good food. We just happened to chance upon it after searching for good restaurants near Ballymena.

Day with friends for afternoon tea celebrating my birthday it was a very busy mid week day we could see, however we had the best time. The young bubbly lady Zoe greeted us and explained everything and gave us a lovely table overlooking the river. Afternoon tea was devine the savouries and sweet treats were beautiful. Once we was on our sweets Zoe came back over to us asked are we enjoying the afternoon tea and wished me a happy birthday which was lovely she looked busy with her team and I noticed she took the time to speak to all the tables. The staff were lovely and couldn?t do enough for you. Thank you for making my birthday special

So the Wimbledon men's final was being shown in the conservatory as part of a special event along with afternoon tea. Wifey decided to book as we both love Wimbledon and the afternoon tea at Galgorm. I have to say the whole afternoon was exceptional - this was maybe helped by such a great tennis match as well! The food menu was delicious and everything served at a perfect pace throughout the first couple of sets of the match - there was a choice of prosecco or Pimm's on arrival. The only down side was that unlike the regular afternoon tea at Galgorm there was no other tea or coffee on offer other than regular tea and filter coffee. I mainly drink coffee and I have to say it was not good and left a poor aftertaste. I was also hoping that a range of teas would have been available as I do like a green or mint tea. As the match went on we were given extra champagne and some snacks including nachos and dips. This was much appreciated! The service all day from staff was excellent and watching the game in that setting was very relaxing and such a great experience. I hope this event is on again next year as I would book right away!
