Our afternoon tea consisted of 3 finger sandwiches per person, 3 mini cakes per person and 2 scones each. I am extremely glad we didn't go for the champagne afternoon tea or that would have been an extra £10 for one glass each! Whilst the taste was there the cream and jam wasn't for the scones and as the waiting staff where harder to find than wally, it was a mistake that went unrectified.

We were shown to a very well appointed lounge, where we were allowed to choose a place to sit. We opted for the prosecco first and this was soon followed by a well presented assortment of sandwiches, cakes and full cream tea. The ambience was pretty much perfect, right down to the well judged music which was playing throughout. I would heartily recommend this venue to anyone and hope to return one day.

Our homeward lunch stop during a weekend of classic car touring and a more appropriate spot would have been hard to find. Beautiful setting for lunch. Excellent service and lovely cream tea. Thank you

Slow service, was served stone cold coffee. The food was dry and boring and completely uninspiring. Was also served a tower of beige ‘afternoon tea’ sandwiches and cakes. Terrible value to money. No staff around to assist with anything. No ambience at all, the place had no atmosphere. Avoid at all costs!

On arrival we were impressed with building and also the interior. We waited ages before a gentleman came to show us to our table. Tea and coffee was served along with the afternoon tea Scones were very chewy not enough cream for four scones. Tiny read rolls with various fillings and small slices of cakes None of it did any thing for our taste beds Fortunately for Sudbury house this had been prepaid,as I would have not paid anywhere near the asking price. Good cup of tea and coffee I have had far superior at the local garden centre .
