The place is lovely and great for special occasions and taking pictures. The staff is so friendly and had great suggestions. The tea lattes are beautifully decorated and I highly recommend trying the afternoon tea. They were even able to make the sandwiches vegetarian friendly.

Wonderful menu, food was delicious and expertly prepared. Nice decor but small in size so if it's not busy you will be comfortable. Staff are very accommodating. Great value. Nice not to have to wait until mid-afternoon if you are in the mood for a "proper" tea service.
