The staff were very tentative, the food was delicious and the decor was amazing.
As soon as we arrived we received a warm welcome and was shown to our table. The waitress explained everything to us. I am coeliac and my dietary requirements were well catered to. Tried a few new flavoured teas and the food was extremely tasty. Would definitely recommend here for Afternoon tea, will be back soon! Thank you.
Sunborn Yacht is the most beautiful place ever! The staff were very kind and attentive. The food and drinks were delicious. I will be coming back in the future!
A very enjoyable afternoon tea experience in beautiful surroundings with excellent service. The sausage roll, scones and cakes were really delicious, however the sandwiches were only average in both quantity and quality, hence 4 stars not 5. Even so, we would love to come back!
The venue is beautiful and a calm setting with great views.
The food was on the whole was ample and a good selection. The sandwiches were a little dry on both sides and although there was a great selection of cakes, there were three of us and sometimes only 1 or 2 of the mini cakes on offer. Everything else had three eg three sandwiches, three scones
Every all it was a great experience and value for money.
