Lovely place to have afternoon tea. We were 2 and chose different teas to share. One English breakfast and one very flowery tea ( lemongrass and ginger). We had to request change of cups and strainers and the suggestion did not come from the waiting on staff as we would have expected. On the whole though very good.
