    Absolutely brilliant service, Anna-Marie was amazing! Very friendly and clearly works very hard to ensure customers are happy and everything is running smoothly. We had the afternoon tea and would definitely come again. The sandwiches and cakes/ scones were delicious especially for the price.

    Don’t waste your money! Me and my mum went in for a slice of cake and pot of tea. The woman forgot to get my cake so I sat there like a lemon waiting for ages. Then my mum ordered the carrot cake, and I kid you not it was crispy, hard and stale. We informed the woman about this and she told me “carrot cake is supposed to be dry” LOL. As if. Never heard anything like it. After we left, we saw that the carrot cake was position next to the door, and gathered that is why it was so crispy, not only that the kids was touching all the cakes in the window. BIG no from me.
