Another great experience at the keg. Although the steaks were not up to par and the veggies were overcooked. The service from Mandy was amazing.

My friend invited me for the high tea as a birthday gift. It was very enjoyable. Good choice of teas would like to have seen maybe a couple more sandwiches less sweets, but I do understand that the menu changes depending on the time of year we are looking forward very much to coming back in the spring and the summer. Beautiful building to have an English high tea in and the staff were delightful.

Ordered the chef’s fall special for two and enjoyed every dish. Great service as we were one couple out of four on a snowy Monday evening. Ambience was great except the music was a little loud.
