Brilliant afternoon tea, food great, the place is amazing, tea has improved from an earlier experience some 7 years back. A cocktail included was unexpected but it was lovely. The staff were friendly and attentive. What a great way to spend a couple of hours, thank you Sunborn

Bright and clean environment. Delicious beef simmer pot with extra toppings to add to the hotpot. Great value compared to some big name hotpot places - 4 people spent about £160 including service fee, and we were all very full.
