I took my fiancé to Burghley House Saturday 30 November 2024 as a surprise. I had also booked for us a Christmas cream tea and carousel ride.I had requested a vegetarian afternoon tea for my fiancé when booking on line and on the day was presented with a vegan option which is not what I had requested and paid for. There is a big difference between the two.There were a multitude of problems on the day which I am going to address though a separate postI complained on the day and was informed that there was only a vegan option for vegetarians, as the manager was not present on the day I was told to email in my complaint and I would be reimbursed.This did not happen, firstly my Letter Of Complaint was treated as Feedback by the female events manager who’s arrogant attitude landed Burghley House in court.
