    We had high hopes however we were given a table right beside the serving area so had staff talking there most of the time, despite there being loads of empty tables elsewhere. The food was ok, but I have had better elsewhere tbh. An ok restaurant, gorgeous environment but food could be better, rather tasteless tbh.

    Had a bottomless afternoon tea here yesterday . Food was delicious , really nice alternatives to traditional afternoon tea. Waiting staff were very attentive and never left us with an empty glass . We came here last year , when there was a drag act on and had such a great time we re-booked , however even though there was no act on this year, just background music, it was a great atmosphere and the visit did not disappoint.

    We attended the bottomless afternoon tea today as a party of four and really enjoyed it. The food was really lovely and different to standard afternoon tea dishes, including the presentation. The staff were friendly and very attentive. All in all I would highly recommend it and return any time.

    Booked for the ‘Back To The Future’ afternoon tea. A real shame but there was nothing Back to the future themed about it apart from a flag that was in the burger and a few photos on a tv screen. Really shouldn’t be advertised as a Back to the future afternoon tea when you are in a restaurant with everyone else that isn’t even on the afternoon tea session. Cocktails were lovely, food was ok but a little dry. I would at least have some Themed music playing or something. Real false advertising. Wouldn’t recommend this.
