Customer Review Summary
Afternoon tea is what reviewers return to most, including the "mini" afternoon tea, with the sandwiches, cakes and scones singled out as homemade and delicious. One reviewer calls the scones a favourite, and another strongly recommends the earl grey, served in unique porcelain for each guest. Close behind, a full english and a birthday breakfast earn praise for good portions and presentation. Several describe celebrations, including hen parties and a baby shower, where the owner and team made the day feel special, and a few with food intolerances or dietary requirements say they were accommodated without fuss. Diners describe the staff as friendly, helpful and homely even when the room was busy, and one Valentine's Day visitor was still served quickly after being warned of a rush. No complaints recur in the reviews. One reviewer suggests booking in advance, and a hen party group's grand entrance to the bride's favourite song is the moment that stands out.

“I visited today for the "mini" afternoon tea with my elderly grandparents. The lady who served us (I assume the owner) was lovely and so friendly. Everything tasted amazing, loved the sandwiches, cakes and scones! Highly recommend, me and my partner will definitely return when we fancy a treat in town.”

“Visited today with my friend. It was very busy yet the staff were all so helpful, kind and polite. I have food intolerances and nothing was too much trouble for the lovely owner, Sam and her team. The food was tasty, fresh and well presented. The scones were my favourite, they were absolutely delicious. Thank you all. Would definitely recommend and return.”
