While the waiter was friendly enough, the table wasn’t set beforehand. We had to ask for several things; teaspoons, sugar, hot water, jam and cream for scones. The food itself was nice although the mushroom-filled profiteroles had a chocolate / cocoa crackelin which was a little strange. The prawn and sweet chilli toasted sandwich was also good but due to these, the overall summary was that the food was all a bit sweet. The afternoon tea was generous and we did take some away to share at home. The scones were delicious.

Food was ok Very noisy area Service quite slow,I would also think that the server should know what is on the afternoon tea stand!! Not keen on a 10% service charge being automatically added either- Our bill had tea and coffee added which was incorrect as it’s supposed to be included in the price of afternoon tea. Unfortunately they were unable to adjust the bill as they needed a managers approval and there was no manager available

Very impressive afternoon tea. Wish the drinks were served before the food and wish we were offered tea and coffee throughout and quicker. Apart from that it was all really good.

Rare wee day out with my mum. Pretty faultless tbh. Only issue was it was meant to be limitless tea/coffee but apart from a drink upon arrival we didn’t get offered any other drinks. After an hour we had to flag down a member of staff & request a drink. Food & setting nice.

We had a lovely afternoon tea and recommend it. We had to go home with a few cakes as there was more than enough. Also liked that it was all served using tea sets that were bought from local charity shops. Lastly the staff were lovely too.

We had the Christmas menu which was really excellent. We all had different things from the menu and were all really pleased with what we had. It’s such a lovely place to go and I always think the staff are brilliant. Thankyou for a lovely evening, oh and top marks for the negroni!! It was spot on.

Very enjoyable day. Plenty of room between tables upstairs. Food lovely and service very good although sometimes we felt a wee bit forgotten about. Had to go looking for the waitress a couple of times. Possibly short staffed. Christmas decorations were beautiful.
