Lovely experience, afternoon tea with extras!
Reviewed on
The afternoon tea was delicious, very tasty and plenty of savouries, scones and sweets. Lovely haggis sausage roll. Tea choices were different and it was great to try something new - try as many as you like. The Miss Cranston and MacKintosh/MacDonald exhibition is excellent, transporting you back in time to experience their lives, business, art and architecture. It was fascinating to learn about them and what Glasgow was like over a hundred years ago. The exhibits are fantastic and fun and the artwork is beautiful. Staff in the tearoom and the exhibition shop were friendly and attentive, their service was excellent. We spent the whole afternoon there - loved it!
