    2nd visit - having now tried afternoon tea elsewhere this feels impersonal before we has sat down told you can only have the table for an hour and half and it took 15 mins to have our order took. Also think a combined sweet and savoury option would be good. Didn’t think the sweet option was good value for money.

    Lovely venue and the food was especially delicious. The service, however, was disappointing in comparison - not the TLC nor attention to detail you might expect.

    Not a fan of the room, much prefer the previous locstion in the stables. Current lo ation is a wedding venue and very much felt like that Some of the cakes were hard and tasteless too. The icing on the cake has been paying the bill though. There were 5 of us wanting to pay separately and add on a 10% tip which made the bill £40 each approx. I was chsrged for the whole table and a £50 tip added which was refunded but not yet received. Another one of us was charged twice. Disappointing as I like it there but it’s lost its way a bit.

    Not being a fan of cream and cakes, I have always been a bit reluctant to do afternoon tea. However, having experienced this, because of a gift card from daughter, my opinion has changed. My wife enjoyed her standard tea of cream and jam scone with selection of cakes but I had the savoury option, all my favourite things, sausage roll, pork pie, cheese, scotch egg, haslet with pickle as well as the standard sandwiches. Superb. The ambience, service and overall experience were all excellent. I am converted to afternoon tea and will be doing it again.

    Service was lovey. Food very disappointed. We have been before and it was good. The salmon bun was more like fish paste. Not what you would expect for the money.
