"The atmosphere was great. The service was great. The food quality was disappointing. - full English breakfast ingredients tasted very cheap for £11. The drinks we ordered were also not great. I’m sure their baked goods are nice though, and I’m sure this would be an excellent and easy 5 stars if the ingredients were of better quality."

"Booked for an afternoon tea. Staff were friendly and polite. Food arrived really quickly and was all amazing tasty. Bread was soft and fillings were plentiful. Sausage roll was still warm which I preferred. The atmosphere was warm and the wall-to-ceiling windows let in a lot of sunlight. They had a large selection of gluten free cakes and took some more treats home. Would highly recommend."
