Was an ok afternoon but would not buy again or recommend to anyone else. Staff were not attentive and had to actively go find staff if required something.
The scones and cakes seemed stale. Sandwiches were fresh. Staff were extremely helpful. But cakes and scones were like l

Staff were lovely and friendly. Pity about the food. The sandwiches were fresh however the cakes and especially the scones seemed stale and hard. Hardly ate any of them. We were so looking forward to the afternoon tea and left really disappointed.
Tasty but not what we paid for.

The staff were great, very welcoming and friendly. It's a lovely place and the room was beautiful.
Downside : was nothing like the festive afternoon tea advertised. We asked for no fish sandwiches (I.e salmon) and got given tuna.
The afternoon tea was advertised as Sandwiches: roast turkey & cranberry. brie & chutney, egg & chive, smoked salmon & cucumber, Pork & chestnut sausage roll
Sweet items Salted caramel éclair, Mini lemon meringue pie, Carrot & walnut cake, Macaroon
Freshly baked Scones
Cinnamon & sultana, Chocolate & pistachio, Mixed fruit jam & vanilla Chantilly cream.
We got cheese and pickle, egg mayo, ham and tomato, tuna.
Mix of cakes none of the above,
Plain scones.
So although tasty and a great setting it was disappointing as this was an anniversary treat as my husband had been ill.
The was one hair hanging off the plate which I quickly removed before my husband saw, otherwise he wouldn't have eaten it.
I Didn't say anything as it had taken alot to get my hubby out and I wanted for him to enjoy the time.
I think it was a lot of money to pay for very plain sandwiches and scones.
Could do better

Booked the festive afternoon tea as an early Christmas present for a friend.
The sandwiches and scones were very nice but the cakes were rather disappointing. Two small chocolate brownies and two small pieces of gingerbread with a cream style topping on them. There was also a small round disc of pastry which had an undistinguishable flavoured jelly like substance on top. Not very nice. Would have expected a bit more of the “ festive “ aspect to the food offered, e. g. turkey as a filling for one of the sandwiches, a mini mince pie, etc.
The staff never asked us at any point if everything was ok, nor were we offered another pot of tea. Even as we left no member of staff asked us if we had enjoyed our afternoon tea.
Bad service not friendly
