We had a lovely afternoon tea in the Cavendish restaurant. Paul was very warm and welcoming and also very attentive and was very knowledgeable on the menu and the tea to accompany it. The raspberry and blood orange possett was our favourite.

Sadly not as good as usual. Changes in staff, service felt rushed and was not as attentive as usual, warm bread promised on the menu was served cold. Starters, mains and desserts were tasty and well presented but it just didn’t feel the same. The Cavendish has always been a special place for lunch and afternoon tea and it would be a great shame if it became just like everywhere else☹️
