    First time I have eaten here and afternoon tea was delightful and plentiful. Gave us a box to bring home the cakes we couldn’t eat. Service was outstanding and didn’t stop asking if we would like refill of our drinks. Nothing too much trouble and very attentive. Will deffo being coming back again.

    The venue is beautiful and a calm setting with great views. The food was on the whole was ample and a good selection. The sandwiches were a little dry on both sides and although there was a great selection of cakes, there were three of us and sometimes only 1 or 2 of the mini cakes on offer. Everything else had three eg three sandwiches, three scones Every all it was a great experience and value for money.
