    We absolutely love this quirky and quaint restaurant/bar/themed, venue. It's not cheap but not over priced either, the quality of food is good, the ambience is excellent ,service is always good. I have been to cheaper cream teas,but I think you get what you pay for when it comes to a cream tea. Definitely recommend it, there's something about this restaurant that works

    An amazing experience! The food was gorgeous and the decor was insane! What a fabulous way to begin the festive celebrations. The Sugar Plum Fairy would have approved! Best food was the Stilton and Cranberry muffin followed by the Raspberry Ripple mousse. No way we were going to have room for it all but the carry home box was exquisite in itself. Thank you for a truly unforgettable afternoon. We will be back for the Regency in January!

    The Nutcracker afternoon was nice, very pretty and gorgeous decor however didn’t get to see hardly any of it as got sat on the first table by the door so felt a bit cheated that after waiting all this time to come we were quite out of the way. Totally shocked by the overall price and don’t think it’s necessary to charge that much, £55 a head for a pretty average afternoon tea and then to add on a huge service charge for bring over two pots of tea and a cake stand is crazy. Sadly I wouldn’t be able to afford to revisit nor would I want to after that extra service charge,I expected something spectacular for that kind of money!

    For £55pp this is wildly overpriced. First impressions of a wrinkled tablecloth and paper napkins was not good. The sandwiches were not fingers but just normal bread cut in half with the crusts removed (some still had bit of crust). The cheese in the cheese and chutney was the pre-grated cheap stuff, Parsnip soup was closer to cold than warm and the Stilton muffin was not flavoursome. Our scones were not warmed and prob not baked on the day either. The selection of cakes were good and only remark on these was that the cheesecake base was soggy. They catered for my dairy free and gluten free wife very well. Staff were friendly and informative. Would not visit again at this price point.
