    My wife and I were entertaining two of our teenage grandsons to afternoon tea as a holiday treat. We wanted them to appreciate the excellent quality of the Hansel & Gretal set tea - which we knew they would! - as well as enjoying the wonderful view of the river and the city-scape at nightfall. We, and our grandsons, were not disappointed. Excellent value for money and every bit the special occasion we wanted it to be.

    We decided to stick with starters, so two cauliflower veloutés with truffle oil which were absolutely delicious (though we didn't think the nuts added anythging). For our second starters, my companion chose the tamarind chicken wings (excellent) and I had the prawn cocktail(very satisfying and nice sauce). I drank 2 glasses of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and we had two bottles of sparkling water. We still had room for desserts as our dishes had been so good so then we plumped for chocolate fondant and sticky toffee pudding. It came to £120 but the overall experience was also festive and cheerful. Service was attentive and friendly though if they'd paid more attention to my jacket, I would have tipped. I recommend this restaurant ad so too does my dining companion I imagine.
