Excellent quality food and range. I’m not usually a big scone lover but the ones in the high tea were so good I highly recommend them. The lobster portions of the high tea are so yummy. Also I added in the expresso martini’s and even though they weren’t as sweet as I usually like them they actually went well with the menu and I ended up preferring them that way.

Food was delicious! Atmosphere was a little noisy though, and water bottles and glasses were on the opposite side of the venue to where we were seated. Would be helpful to have a couple of water stations in my opinion, or water offered as standard when being seated at the table perhaps.

Great food and coffees. We sat outside. Was a very busy period when we arrived and it was initially tricky for service, but once things settled down the service was very good.
