   As a family, we have been to Morley Hayes many times, including several afternoon teas. The attention to detail is excellent, from the initial greeting, service and departure. The food is very well thought out and there was as much tea of choice as we could possibly drink! On a final note, we were really impressed with the new decor. Everything is high end, without being over formal. What more could you want ✨️

   Our favourite place to dine. From afternoon tea , organised events and Sunday lunch all have been outstanding. Food always delicious and staff go above and beyond to ensure everyone is looked after. Thank you Morley Hayes, highly recommend.

   Great value champagne breakfast. High standard of food and presentation. Hot drinks are only served at the end of the- it’s a shame that you are not asked if you prefer the hot refreshments earlier on in the breakfast. Beautiful surroundings and decor. Slightly lacks a warm and welcoming reception and if we were celebrating anything in particular etc as never asked. Overall a lovely place to celebrate for a special occasion.

   I took my father for his birthday after a friend recommended it. We went for champagne breakfast and we were all so impressed with the setting, the service and the food. We will definitely be back. In fact we have booked to come here for my Mum’s 80th in July, for Sunday lunch. I’m very glad that we have done after sampling breakfast. We went on a normal Thursday and it was really busy so they are obviously doing something right.

   Lovely afternoon tea, the service was great. We were offered extra sandwiches which was nice and had many refills of coffee. Would definitely visit again.
