    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

    Arrived early was seated straight away, however we was left a long time before someone approached the table once the afternoon tea was delivered we had to ask what was in the sandwiches along with asking for spoons for the tea, it was a bottomless hot drinks but unfortunately only received one drink each the place itself was amazing and pretty

    Sunborn is a lovely venue and the afternoon tea was really good. The savouries were excellent and the scones really good. The cocktail was a treat.

    Whilst I have had nicer afternoon teas, it was very enjoyable and the venue was gorgeous. Staff were friendly. Cocktails were a dream! Bit of a journey to get there but well worth it on a sunny day!
