    We did the afternoon tea experience, the presentation of the tea was lovely, You initially started with several small sandwiches, and the tier of sweets. The egg salad sandwich, and the salmon puff were delicious, but the third was a chicken mini like sub. While hardy - not what I expected during tea - prefer the more simple cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches. Some of the deserts were lovely - but again while delicious some were not really a great choice for a tea - the one I would of liked to not have had was the chocolate dome one that was partially melted prior to getting to it, Again another flavor scone or a simple cookie would of have a better option. Even with some of the food misses the presentation, the atmosphere were are spot on. The greeter to the wait staff were so friendly and welcoming. In short would I do it again - absolutely!!!
