Such a lovely experience Afternoon Tea in the Lord Mayor's Lounge everything was excellent. My mum, who is Coeliac, was so well looked after with a gluten-free option. My daughter had the kids option, which was very well suited. It is the best afternoon tea and in such beautiful surroundings and yet again the staff are very professional and friendly. Thank you yet again for a memorable occasion.

We had a meal and drinks on a very busy evening before Christmas. It's a relatively small venue and was busy and noisy when we arrived. The staff were very nice and got us a table in a quieter corner. The service was excellent, despite the Christmas rush. Gabriel in particular stood out as super professional and efficient.
