We had a wonderful experience at a high tea celebrating my mum's birthday. The food was absolutely amazing, and the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. We truly felt special during our time there. I want to give a special mention to Marisa, who took the time to chat with us and really get to know us. She made us feel extra special, and her kindness added to the lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend this place for a memorable celebration!
