    We went for the pre-theatre menu and loved it. Perfect amount of food, good variety of options to choose from so everyone at the table ordered different items and we all got to sample a little bit of everything. Great value and would recommend.

    Super nice and attentive staff in a busy cafe on a main road. The venue is nice but frayed around the edges with a sense of once- upon-a-time grandeur. The food is great, very tasty and portions are generous. Would I come back? Yes!

    The cafe itself was nice, staff were attentive and kept asking if we were ok. We ordered a Prosecco afternoon tea. They didn’t bring the Prosecco we with our tea we had to ask for it, we also asked for tap water and they didn’t bring that either. The tea itself was ok. A couple of the sandwiches were dry as was the scones, they were very crumbly and broke into pieces when you put jam & cream on. They also didn’t provide any butter. The cakes were lovely though with a great selection. Overall it was alright and not too expensive which was good.
