The Winter tea experience at the Old Mill was lovely. It appears they have two seatings which creates a bit of chaos in the lobby area as they are seating a large number of people simultaneously which detracts a bit from the arrival. The hostess provided a clear overview along with a bit of history which was a lovely touch. Lots of options on tea options and nice to have a choice of two teas. The food was good - definitely enough to fill you up. Everything was delicious.
