    Such an amazing experience! We loved the fruit salad tea and the delicious pastries. The candy at the end was such a treat as well!

    We have been to this establishment a number of times. although the service is very good , they had forgotten it was our Anniversary , although mentioned on the booking form. The place was very quite and looking very tired. food was acceptable but not exciting.

    Service was slow. Took around five minutes to be seen and seated. And it didn’t overly quick up afterwards I’m afraid. That said, the service was polite and friendly. The afternoon tea was good, I enjoyed it! Overall, it was average.
