Had a afternoon tea set and a cream tea set in here. Good service, you can refill your tea, sandwich and scones for free. The scone is very good with the spreads. They will also refill the cream and jam if you order a refill of scone. A bit pricey but comparing to the other afternoon tea venue is relatively reasonable.
