    Lovely afternoon tea, the service was great. We were offered extra sandwiches which was nice and had many refills of coffee. Would definitely visit again.

    MORLEY HAYES MEAL FEEDBACK 6042025 We waited for over 40 minutes to receive our main meal. We noticed a number of tables had received their meal before us and they arrived after us. I managed to ask a waitress what has happened to our meal, she didn’t know but said they querying it. We where not informed on what happened to our meal and were disappointed that no one said there would be a delay.

    The savoury afternoon tea was delicious, the scones were lovely but the cakes were a disappointment. Not as good as the last two years. Maybe I will try somewhere new nxt time.

    From first entering the restaurant the welcome was warm and welcoming. The restaurant has recently been refurbished and it looked beautiful. The staff couldn't do enough for us. We were celebrating my husbands birthday and he was given a birthday card from the manager- such a lovely touch! We had the Champagne Breakfast, word of warning- an amazing selection was offered and it would have been rude not to partake of it all ! I would suggest you bring a good appetite! Very high quality food cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend this restaurant!
