Great location, lovely festive atmosphere. A very busy afternoon so although the waiting staff were lovely- it was very slow. The bar was full of used glasses, so maybe not enough staff working today. I’m sure on a less busy day it would be fab!

Super nice and attentive staff in a busy cafe on a main road. The venue is nice but frayed around the edges with a sense of once- upon-a-time grandeur. The food is great, very tasty and portions are generous. Would I come back? Yes!

The cafe itself was nice, staff were attentive and kept asking if we were ok. We ordered a Prosecco afternoon tea. They didn’t bring the Prosecco we with our tea we had to ask for it, we also asked for tap water and they didn’t bring that either. The tea itself was ok. A couple of the sandwiches were dry as was the scones, they were very crumbly and broke into pieces when you put jam & cream on. They also didn’t provide any butter. The cakes were lovely though with a great selection. Overall it was alright and not too expensive which was good.
