Best Afternoon Tea ever! Even better than The Savoy, London! If I could give a 6 star rating I would. Nothing was too much trouble. And most importantly you could try different teas throughout your time here instead of being stuck with the same pot of tea getting stronger and colder! A perfect amount of attention from our delightfully friendly server, Kerry. Dietary requirements were followed to the tee! And the food deserves a Michelin star! Honestly, I felt as though I’d turned into ‘Emily in Paris’. This establishment is exquisite. Perfectly chilled with charm and elegance. We’ll be back very soon.

Found this little gem and would recommend food and service very good and you get loads! Was nice to get a pre starter but wish we'd known it was coming as wouldn't have ordered starters and big portions but delicious. Also allow time for your meal and gaps in between courses quite long and we had to rush back for our parking but overall will be returning
