    We had a lovely lunch here, the chunky vegetable soup is delicious. We pre booked our table as we also did a distillary tour. Everyone was really helpful, especially as I have a severe strawberry allergy. The staff were very polite and the restaurant was impeccably clean.

    Amazing . Beautiful old distillery, informative tour and even saw our barrel near Princess Anne’s! All staff really friendly , excellent correspondence and great afternoon tea. Lovely setting, beautiful hand crafted fixtures and fittings in a cosy room. Good service and delicious. Could choose between teas or coffees. Two courses , first delivery , all the savouries , hot soup to start in a teacup, taster of haggis , roasted veg pastry, hot crostini with pesto and Brie and then all the finger sandwiches. Think four different types from memory. Just yum. Then the sweets arrived, separately , shortbread, chocolate brownie, fudge, lemon mousse, mini Battenberg, two types of hot scones ,two jams and cream . Great meal ! We were a group of 3 and there was three of everything . Just a lovely end to great afternoon trip . We all enjoyed and definitely one of the best afternoon teas I have had , and I have tried a few , including The Ritz, Savoy, Goring and Wolsey . My advice is don’t change anything .

    Amazing food, amazing cakes, nice friendly quiet atmosphere, lovely decor and well catered for dogs too. What more can you want. First time we visited the distillery and coffee shop we fell in love and go back regularly. This place really deserves so much credit, the staff are always very warm and welcoming and nothing is to much trouble. I recommend this to everybody. Why not get a dram while you're there aswell!

    Very pleasant as always (have been several times now). Staff pleasant and friendly, good quality food and fast service, although menu could be a bit more diverse - limited choice of fillings for bakes potatoes and sandwiches. Only slight criticism would be the seating, especially for the elderly - gard wooden seats with no padding. Only one armchair per table.

    Had afternoon tea 1 month ago, I preferred it then as I don’t like lamb and it was presented on a scone in the savoury selection. Price has gone up £4 since I last visited 1 month ago! I queried this and was told it had held at £17 for 4 years, not going up with people enjoying it at that price for that length of time. I said that is fair enough but I’d only had my first one 1 month ago so that comment didn’t apply to me. Also, the lady said price increase was because it was the Christmas menu. Only extra I noted was a Christmas cracker. A bit disappointed but still enjoyed it.
