Celebrating our sister’s 60th birthday with family and friends at Margaret was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make the day special. The food was incredible - and a lot of it! And the service was friendly and flawless. It was a perfect way to mark this milestone birthday. I cannot recommend Margaret enough for any special occasion. Thank you to all at Margaret for making this day extraordinary!

The high tea was elegant tasty and filling - the scones were delicious and served warm - perhaps make a serviette avail to cover them to keep warm - other feedback for awareness is to add another savoury(?) that’s not a criticism in any way!
