    We enjoyed an afternoon tea as a gift from our son and partner. Nicely presented and a good selection of tastes to experience. Nice decor befitting the name of the establishment.

    Had the most amazing time for our anniversary and they did a lovely touch with an extra pudding saying happy anniversary. Service was amazing(we have an extra tip on top of service charge as he was so lovely!), seating lovely, food delicious. The food is on the pricey side, but you 100% get what you pay for and more! I will be coming back. For sure!

    Pleasant staff but seemed lacking in organisation and direction. Difficulty in obtaining soya milk for my tea, and not offered "top up" teapots
