Great lunch , good vibe , excellent service and food

My friend and I are regulars for an early evening Sunday supper at Daphne’s. Today didn’t disappoint. We had our usual order of sautéed prawns followed by roast baby chicken. But today since it’s the festive season we had the added bonus of a panettone icecream coupe to share. It was delicious, Xmas in a bowl.

The Library Bar has a relaxed friendly atmosphere with attentive but no overbearing staff. The bar food is good with a wide variety of drinks on offer from trained and helpful staff

From the minute we arrived at Humphrey's Bar and Brasserie the staff were very professional and helpful. We were shown to our table which was all laid out with a pristine tablecloth and lovely crockery. I had pre-booked an afternoon tea for two people with a "Buy a Gift Voucher". They were very accommodating with regards one afternoon tea being gluten free, the other a normal afternoon tea. (I had previously been in contact via email with Wan to discuss my needs. Wan was super helpful. Thank you). When the food arrived it was all very fresh and the selection of sandwiches, cakes, scones that was on offer was superb. My gluten free tea was lovely and the bread actually tasted like normal bread and wasn't like cardboard, which was an added bonus. My voucher didn't include any other drinks apart from the tea and coffee included with the voucher. This was no problem and you could purchase separately and then pay upon leaving. The staff were very attentive, whether it be to refill our glasses with our prosecco, or to provide more tea/coffee if needed. It was a very relaxing afternoon in lovely surroundings. Good ambience. We were not rushed in any way. I would highly recommend going to Humphreys bar and brasserie for afternoon tea. Thank you so much to the staff who served us. My friend and I had a fantastic afternoon.
