We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas High Tea! From the first moment the staff were so friendly and welcoming, we were seated at a lovely table. They catered for our dietary requirements with ease, everything was delicious, we were in heaven. There was plenty to choose from and it was all fantastic quality. Your pastry chef is obviously very talented. The presentation of the hight tea was lovely and it really didn't disappoint, we couldn't find fault. The only thing I would say is that we should be able to add a tip if paying by card as your staff deserve one for their amazing service.

Lovely location and amazing view. New and modern building with local art on the walls. Very friendly, efficient and attentive staff. Outstanding Sunday lunch, it was quiet when we arrived but when we left it was very busy which was lovely to see at this time of the year. This goes to show how popular this restaurant is with locals and also visitors. Highly recommended and I’ll definitely be returning when I’m next in st ives
