    The experience was very nice. The lion king theme was great and food was yummy. The member of staff was friendly and we didn’t feel rushed which was lovely. The music was good but it was also quite enough that you chat to the people you went with.

    The settings are stunning for themed afternoon teas. So much effort is put into everything and the staff couldn’t be more friendly, polite and helpful! It’s worth every penny!

    We went to Lion King afternoon tea and loved it! It is quite pricey, but the food was delicious and the theme/decor was amazing. I was really pleased that they were able to make a special nut/gluten/chocolate free afternoon tea for one person and it still looked just as stunning as the normal afternoon tea. Will definitely be back!
