Went for afternoon tea for my Mom's birthday on Saturday afternoon. Originally we sat outside as it was lovely and sunny, the staff said they would keep our table reserved inside just incase the wasps got too much...which they did as soon as the food came out, the staff were very helpful in helping us carry our drinks and food inside. I opted for gluten free sandwiches and thought it was great that I got to choose 2 fillings for my sandwiches. It was all very filling, and we got given boxes to take home cakes we didn't manage to eat. Would definitely recommend, great value for money and extremely filling!
Popped in for a quick bite and a cuppa on a walk with my littlest monkey and was not disappointed. Most tables were already booked and reserved. You do need to reserve first if you are coming for afternoon tea, luckily this was midday on a Wednesday and a table was available until 2:00. Plenty of time (also a very good sign this was going to be special!) The decor and tableware gives a bright modern victoriana vibe. I ordered a nursery tea for monkey and a cuppa with a ploughman for myself. Service was lovely, monkey lapped up the cooing and extra attention, and after asking for a plastic beaker one was provided. My food was good but the nursery tea that monkey had was something else! Two tier plate stuffed with cake, jelly, biscuits and sweets (oh... and some perfectly cut triangular sandwiches ). Be warned, the nursery tea was a lot of food for a child under 8... My monkey is nearly 2 and she had a darn good go, but needed help to polish it off (my excuse anyway...) We also made a complete mess but the professional staff took it in their stride, and we both felt well looked after. Thoroughly recommend this place. Next time I'm booking a table and bringing the family. Thank you Tea Shop!
We had a wonderful afternoon there celebrating our daughter's birthday with her friends. Beautiful junior afternoon tea, and equally lovely adult afternoon tea!
