Thought the service was very good, food also very good, really friendly atmosphere. Need to lower the price of the Chapel Down, I pay approximately £140 per case, and that's brut, the one for £47 per bottle is very steep. But it won't stop us returning. Loved the place.

This was my first but not last visit. It was Nutcracker themed afternoon tea. All tables were in themed booths, the deco was outstanding (says the art student) and gave a really great feel. Food was plentiful and really imaginative (think pigs in blanket hot dog in brioche canapé) and good quality. Music obvs was Nutcracker (think Dad would’ve ben disappointed not ELP) and loads of Xmas favs. Just a truly brilliant experience
