Customer Reviews

Food was ample and delicious

"Great afternoon tea Had an afternoon tea, a gift from our son for the wife’s birthday via a well known “experience” website. Very welcoming staff and good friendly service. Comfortable and with a nice ambience. Food was ample, delicious and well presented. It was a struggle, but we beat it 😂 Although we sat inside, the outside area also looked inviting. Definitely worth a visit. It did seem odd not having to ask for the bill and pay though 😁" April 2026
