Loved coming here for afternoon tea! The afternoon tea included unlimited tea, soup/salad, tiered plate with tea sandwiches/scones/breads, and dessert. They also had high tea, which includes all of the above plus fruit and quiche.

We were really impressed! We loved the decor and all of the food and tea was so delicious. The service was friendly, and the prices were great! Will definitely be back.
