Sean and his team will be greatly missed. Best wishes guys, look forward to catching up with you in the future. I’m sure it won’t be too long until you’re back.

Having read some of the reviews I wasn’t sure this would be a great experience. It was the best afternoon tea I have ever had. Everything on the cake stand was fresh and delicious. The waiter was lovely, very good at his job. Being a Tuesday it was quiet but very enjoyable. The only downside was it was a little pricey but I guess you get what you pay for.

We knew this establishment as a “Navy Pub” which tended to be somewhat raucous. It’s certainly not now! There was an interesting menu with some less common items like Osso Bucco. Our table was close to another with eight or so ‘ladies of around 40’ having a raucous party but fortunately they moved on soon. Our food was delicious but the choice was restricted by several things being “sold out” - and this was only about 18.30. The hen party perhaps? The staff were really excellent and our bill was adjusted a bit to compensate for unavailable items. Overall it was quite a bit better than we initially expected and we will go back in future.

Good atmosphere and attentive staff Good choice of drinks and food on the menu
