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.

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

They were a little slammed by the late holiday demand, but the service was friendly, the prices reasonable and the food was pretty good. Fresh mussels on the Peninsula are always hard to beat.
