Lovely food and cocktails as always, it’s the second time we booked a big table for an occasion but both times we were sat up by the band and the outside chairs were stools we swapped them for chairs with a backrest but I’d like to be seated better next time but I’m sure if I specified it they would meet our needs

We are regulars at The Alder so we weren't surprised that the Festive Afternoon Tea was fantastic. There was plenty of food, the layout was lovely and the staff are all fantastic.
