Not my first high tea at Van Loons, but very impressed today. The staff were very accommodating and friendly, food delicious and cocktails and mock tails totally gorgeous. Although not the cheapest in town, we think it was value for money and a great afternoon celebrating a special birthday. Thank you again, it won’t be our last visit.

Quite tasty food with good value. Two members of our party did not get their meal, when they queried what was happening, it was discovered the order had not gone through to the kitchen. They were very apologetic and offered two desserts and two drinks as compensation. This offer was accepted, and all was good.

We love Farm Dog Brewery. The food and drinks are fantastic and the overall atmosphere is great. For a beautiful open air dining experience it can’t be beaten. For people with children the lawn area is large for them to run around and have a great day as well
