We were the first customers to ever have afternoon tea at the tea rooms. The tea room has a lovely warm and welcoming feeling to it, the staff are very pleasant and nothing is too much. The afternoon tea was absolutely delicious, the bread on the sandwiches was fluffy and fresh and the cakes were an delight, very tasty with a huge selection on offer. It was a pleasure to go and we love going. Highly recommend.

My favourite place to go for desserts or a catch up over lunch time. Staff are so friendly and welcoming, the place is very clean and beautifully decorated. The menu for sweet treats varies each week which I love for the chance to try different things! Recently my boyfriend and I had the grazing board. It was a lovely date for us in a cosy atmosphere, all of the food on the platter was incredible, they even offered to let us box the leftovers and take them home! Had to get a dessert to take home as I was so full! Best place in the area for afternoon tea, snacks and coffee!

First time I have been to the tea room today. What a lovely place. Everywhere was spotlessly clean, tidy and bright. The staff were very welcoming and polite and did everything to ensure we had a good afternoon tea. The tables were set out nicely with matching crockery. The food was delicious and fresh and both vegetarian and gluten free food was available for us. Would definitely recommend.
