    The wine was on the pricey side and our Chicken Milanese was slightly overcooked but these minor blemishes were completely outweighed by the excellent service provided by all the staff.

    We booked the Festive afternoon tea, paying extra for prosecco and mulled wine, a couple of months in advance for a birthday treat whilst in Cambridge. Unfortunately, the mulled wine was still 'cooking' ? at the time of our sitting (It's not as if it was a last-minute booking) We were upgraded to champagne, which was very nice for myself, as I enjoyed both glasses as my husband isn't a lover of champagne. It was very disappointing that the mulled wine was not available, especially as it was a festive afternoon tea. The rest of the hotel was beautiful decorated for Christmas, but there were no Christmas decorations in the area where we were seated, so didn't feel very festive. On a positive note, the sandwiches were lovely and fresh, and they did swap one of the fillings for us. There was a very good selection of teas and a good variety of scones and cakes.

    The cocktails were superb. The food was very good and the staff were friendly and efficient. We were disappointed that there wasn't live music, as that was the motivation for booking. I will check before booking another time.
