Unprepossessing from the outside, but a warm welcome inside - food was well cooked and tasty (bread was delicious!), although the washrooms could do with a little improvement.

Great afternoon tea in a lovely building. The service was really good , so well looked after. The afternoon tea was delicious , plenty of sandwiches and the cake selection was really good with lovely warm cheese scones. Could not fault anything about it and would recommend it. This is the 4th time we have booked and love the theme is changed to mix it up.
