    Indulge in a delightful afternoon of luxury & elegance as you step back in time and enjoy a traditional high tea with all of the trimmings. Laughter & conversation flow easily around our perfectly set tables when you are seated to enjoy a delicately planned afternoon of finesse and tradition, enjoyed over a two-hour sitting. High tea is served on Saturday and Sunday from3:00pm to 5:00pm, and bookings are essential. Pleasantly charming & reminiscent of a bygone era, Miss Violets High Tea room prides itself on tradition. For such an occasion as an afternoon High Tea, Miss Violet knows only the most opulent setting will do. The room is set with Royal Albert China, crystal chandeliers, white starched table cloths and fresh flowers.

    This a gorgeous venue but been here twice in the last month and food has been very average. Going to give it a miss until something changes. Disappointing

    I don’t recommend this cafe at all. The food is disgusting! Customer service is horrible! They have no respect for the customer at all! They are very expensive to what they serve you! I’ve been to other cafes they get half the price for a plate full of delicious food. The stuff is very rude and unprofessional. Don’t waste your money, people are only going there for the garden otherwise everything else is horrible! I paid $73 just for 2 plates of unpleasant food and a cappuccino! DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
