Wonderful Festive afternoon tea. The food was delicious and presented well. My only thought was that the sandwiches didn’t match up to the beautiful cakes as far as creativity. However, the overall experience and service was excellent. Definitely recommend and will return. Thank you.

On the whole a very enjoyable afternoon with delicious food. My major concern was that as we ordered, I stated that I have a severe fish allergy and carry EpiPen, this was all written down and instead of the smoked salmon I asked for another turkey sandwich. When the food came to the table, the salmon was on the same plate as the turkey and touching. I had to ask to have it taken away and for mine to be remade and served on a separate plate as I did not want to go into anaphylactic shock. Once this was resolved, we had a lovely afternoon
