    Really lovely experience. Loved the Bridgeton theme, all the food, drinks & place setting all had a very clever nod to the series. Service was good, our waiter Matt was friendly & nothing was too much trouble. The food was served over a decent amount of time, so we were able to really enjoy each course & the fun ambience. The sandwiches, savouries & cakes & scones were all delicious (& the vegetarian options were great too) Would thoroughly recommend!

    This is the fourth time we have been for afternoon tea , and it is always amazing . The attention to detail is amazing and food delicious. We can’t wait to return later in the year for a different theme . We came to the snow white afternoon tea this time and loved the intimate setting of the upstairs room

    Came for my mum's 85th birthday. We've been to many afternoon teas, but this was by far the best. More than I'd usually pay, but well worth it. The food and treats were exquisite and the staff amazing. Not just an afternoon tea, but an experience. Would highly recommend

    Atmosphere was amazing, would of liked a little choice in sandwiches, but they were perfectly OK. The cakes were amazing, chocolate apple was impressive. Lovely staff helpful, but not intrusive.

    Amazing decor, our waitress Shannon was lovely - so helpful and informative. Sandwiches were ‘ok’ had better elsewhere which was a shame considering the cost. Cakes were lovely though very small. Beautiful surroundings for a special occasion however for £50, food could have been a little better.
