The restuarant was very busy as expected during the holiday season but having to wait 20 minutes to get two cocktails wasn't a good experience. We were half way through out starters before the cocktails arrived. The food was good though,

If you are celebrating and want to do it with afternoon tea then this is a good one to go for. Service was exemplary and the sandwiches, savouries, scones and cakes were everything they should be.

Met all our expectations in terms of special festive ambience! So gorgeous! Service was attentive and helpful, and our lunch wasn’t rushed in any way. Food was delicious but unfortunately not hot.
