    Wonderful Festive afternoon tea. The food was delicious and presented well. My only thought was that the sandwiches didn’t match up to the beautiful cakes as far as creativity. However, the overall experience and service was excellent. Definitely recommend and will return. Thank you.

    On the whole a very enjoyable afternoon with delicious food. My major concern was that as we ordered, I stated that I have a severe fish allergy and carry EpiPen, this was all written down and instead of the smoked salmon I asked for another turkey sandwich. When the food came to the table, the salmon was on the same plate as the turkey and touching. I had to ask to have it taken away and for mine to be remade and served on a separate plate as I did not want to go into anaphylactic shock. Once this was resolved, we had a lovely afternoon

    Fantastic staff, ambience and venue fabulous. Extremely disappointed with the Sunday lunch set menu. We had smoked salmon starter- 1 very thin slice of smoked salmon with 2 tiny bits of dry biscuit/bread and a few capers. Really really disappointing. We all had roast beef for the mains. Beef so tough/ sinewy really needed Steak Knives. Very thick fat inedible, we all left it and asked for it to be put in a doggy bag for one of our party who has a dog. Roast potatoes, just white boiled looking , not roasted at all. Cauliflower cheese rock hard, again inedible and left. Desserts were the best part of the meal. All 4 of us were very disappointed with the food we can not recommend it to anyone. Sorry if this review seems harsh but it’s true and honest. What we all agreed on is the staff were extremely polite, helpful and friendly. They could not have been any better. Such a shame the food was so poor.
