An outstanding restaurant. My friend and I travelled from Dublin and Coleraine to try this place and we were not disappointed! As we are both eat a plant-based diet, the vegan menu was phenomenal. Everything was bursting with taste! Great options for mocktails/alc free too. 10/10

The sandwiches and scones were some of the best we have tasted! The Chef surprise curry soup was delicious! We were encouraged to try as many teas and/or coffees as we would like and we did taste 6 different teas of the 9 offered. All were delicious. The service was impeccable, the venue perfect. The dessert sweets were not only delectable but were a delight to the eyes as well. Overall, highly recommend this afternoon tea service.
