The ladies and the new professional cook go above and beyond to provide a lovely Afternoon Tea experience for my daughters and me. We have been to the Sotherton Tea Room three times this year, and every time we have enjoyed the food, the tea flavors, the staff, and the entire afternoon in general. We absolutely enjoyed the Kentucky Derby event in May when we wore out Kentucky Derby hats and definitely look forward to participating in it again next year.
