    Really small portions. Children’s meal so small I had to order an additional adults meal for my 7yr old. Adult portions also quite mean, for the price.

    The staff are excellent but the food was amazing massive let down today. We normally have breakfast here which is excellent but Sunday lunch is not worth going for.

    My sister and I took my Mum here for Afternoon Tea to celebrate her 92nd birthday. We got a lovely warm welcome and the service throughout our visit was friendly, attentive and we couldn’t fault it - perfect! Unfortunately the food was a bit disappointing. The bread on the sandwiches was a bit hard like it had been made up much earlier and left sitting - just didn’t taste fresh. Scones were nice and the choice of three cakes was ok but lacked the WOW factor. We brought most of them home. We wouldn’t go back for Afternoon Tea.

    Lovely staff, lovely champagne afternoon tea. All three of us were happy. The fruit scones were so soft and we liked that you served clotted cream, as a lot of places don't anymore, but it's a must. Good selection of sandwiches and cakes. You managed to take the traditional, make it interesting, without it losing its essence. Good tea and coffee selection too

    Altogether a lovely experience with excellent friendly service. I would have appreciated a choice of champagne ie pink instead of just white as shown on all the promotions.
