    Great afternoon tea, our server was great the only thing was the room could have been warmer and a few more room additions needed to make it more cosy

    Beautifully festive venue, we were seated right next to the Christmas tree. Friendly and attentive staff. The savoury Afternoon Tea option was fantastic as not all of our party like cakes. Would definitely visit again.
