    Best Afternoon Tea ever! Even better than The Savoy, London! If I could give a 6 star rating I would. Nothing was too much trouble. And most importantly you could try different teas throughout your time here instead of being stuck with the same pot of tea getting stronger and colder! A perfect amount of attention from our delightfully friendly server, Kerry. Dietary requirements were followed to the tee! And the food deserves a Michelin star! Honestly, I felt as though I’d turned into ‘Emily in Paris’. This establishment is exquisite. Perfectly chilled with charm and elegance. We’ll be back very soon.

    We had an afternoon tea. The food was exceptionally fresh and tasty. The scones were warm and the tea was high quality. The service was lovely; the waiting staff particularly helpful and attentive. What we loved was it was a relaxing atmosphere and we didn’t feel rushed.

    This is the second year running that my friend and I have been to the Fancy Fox for our Christmas afternoon tea. The venue is beautiful and is especially magical at Christmas. The food is absolutely fantastic and they were brilliant at catering for vegetarians/food allergies. The service can't be faulted and I would say that overall it is great value for money. Infact, there was so much food that we both had to take home leftovers.
