I placed an order for a cake online for delivery. Firstly the cake was delicious there is no question about the quality of their product. However their customer service leaves alot to be desired. I was given a discount code for free delivery and it would not work. Nor was the delivery costs visible. Once ordered I was surprised that delivery was £12.95. Within minutes I reached out to the team about this issue and was shut down really quickly with no reasonable explanation as to why the delivery costs were not visible, why my code wouldn't work and that there is nothing they can do to resolve, refund or reimburse me any costs. As good as the cake was I doubt I would order from them again.

Visit with family for afternoon tea. It wasn't very busy so we were seated and served very quickly. Sandwiches were good, scones good but by the time the cakes were up, I was pretty full. Service was excellent and attentive and they had no issues providing me with alternative drink.

I am writing this as a former employee trying to get in contact with someone about documents regarding my employment last year. I have called the store close to a dozen times now and not once have they picked up the phone. If I was a customer calling then I can imagine what they must be feeling right now! I don’t have any former employees contact information and this is the only way I am able to contact anyone regarding this matter. I am needing to speak to someone ASAP about this as I am on a time frame and the fact the nobody in the store is answering the company phone is quite disappointing!

I’m sorry but this place was horrendous. We had a gift voucher for afternoon tea. The place was horrifically understaffed although it wasn’t remotely busy. It took ages to get seated (seated ourselves in the end) and took ages for our food to come. When it came the sandwiches and cakes were completely dry and stale. I didn’t ask for them to be replaced as they took so so long to come we didn’t have time to wait all over again. They gave us the wrong scones and forgot our drinks. I sadly wouldn’t come again

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the prolonged delay in receiving a reference response from your end being an ex employee of your company .It has been over a month since I requested a reference from you, and despite multiple reminders, I have yet to receive any acknowledgment or response. As someone who values punctuality and professionalism, I find this lack of communication highly concerning and frustrating. Not only does it reflect poorly on your reliability, but it also undermines my ability to move forward with important endeavors that rely on your reference. This delay has caused unnecessary stress and inconvenience, and I urge you to prioritize this matter and provide the reference at your earliest convenience. Timely communication and follow-through are essential in maintaining trust and respect in professional relationships, and I hope to see a prompt resolution to this issue.

We travelled one and a half hour drive and walked for 25 minutes to an afternoon tea purchased by a friend as a Xmas present for me and my husband. When we arrived it was nearly empty and waitress told us to find a seat and she would clean it for us. She then asked what we wanted, I said cream tea, she replied we only have plain scones to which I replied that was fine. I asked if she wanted to see my voucher and showed her to be told we have run out of afternoon tea! I then explained we tried to book but it stated on website no need to book it’s available all day, it was only approximately 2.30 pm, 3pm at the latest!! The lady was very rude and told me tuff basically, I could not believe her attitude, there was no sorry we have run out just tough you will have to come back! I can totally understand the stores closing with this kind of service and also when contacting customer service them saying let us know when you plan to go and we will get them to save you one! Very bad customer service

I don't know what has happened but the level of service and quality of the food has really deteriorated, when compared to pre-pandemic times. I went with a friend to use a Groupon voucher for their brunch menu. Both our orders were misunderstood, including the drinks which we had requested to arrive after the food and which arrived before. The staff seemed 'somewhere else'. The place wasn't at all busy, but our food took quite a time to arrive and with items missing, followed by what seemed unneccessarily confusing conversations in their attempt to explain and eventually rectify things. Very disappointing. I'd return just to see if it was one-off, and I'd have a cake next time, which I know they're good at.

Don’t waste your time! Waited 30 minutes for three drinks and three pre-sliced pieces of cake. We asked staff for an update and they screamed of incompetence nobody gave us an update and they walked around like headless chickens who had forgotten we had even ordered as it didn’t look like they could find it? Ten minutes later we left with no update and having had no service after almost 45 minutes of waiting for a very very simple order and what shocked me was the fact the cake I had ordered was sat on a plate and just abandoned! Staff were completely incompetent and we watched them stand around talking instead of fulfilling orders for almost the whole time we were there!

At around 3:45 pm today on a Sunday (they close at 5pm), we visited the place but were denied entry by the cashier due to not having a reservation, despite half of the restaurant being empty. It's disheartening because we enjoyed it there in the past. Due to this, we also skip the plan to buy take away. Apparently, reservations are required on weekends.

Shambles of a place. Really lovely front of house guy - but trying to do 10 jobs at once. Waited for table service, but eventually realised you must order at till. We had eaten our cake long before our drinks arrived. Cake and drinks were delicious though happily. This place is not cheap and is supposed to be a bit of a treat - it needs to employ sufficient staff.

Came here for an afternoon tea for friends birthday. I'd called before to explain one was pregnant so to ensure no seafood etc and booked a table... arrive on the day and the only two options we are given are ham or salmon... the salmon is the sushi type salmon which isn't safe during pregnancy and she doesn't eat pork so we ask if they can make a plain cheese and cucumber sandwich... especially since they're advertised as vegetarian friendly... neither salmon or ham are vegetarian... the guy grumbles and says they're not supposed to change the set menu and then eventually after we refused to budge saying we're not eating salmon or ham, he agrees to make cheese sandwiches... we then asked if we could both have fruit scones as the menu states fruit OR plain and he states that the menu is afternoon for TWO and that means one of us must have the plain scone and the other fruit scone... we both explained we only like fruit scones and eventually he agrees to do two fruit scones. Then for the dessert part of the afternoon tea he states its a set chocolate cake, strawberry cake and macaroons. We both stated we don't like macaroons and did change for a biscoff pastry which was fine. Then the food all comes out and at first we thought they were bringing it out for one and then another stand for the second person but no that was to share... 4 tiny finger sandwiches each and the smallest scones I've ever had at afternoon tea and the tiniest bite sized cakes, lucky we'd had breakfast before we came! The cheese sandwiches were a mixture of plastic cheap tasting cheese and what tasted like children's cheese spread, not the quality you'd expect for paying nearly £40! They also stated that the only hot drinks were coffee and tea and we stated she's pregnant and they agreed to change to hot chocolate but when they brought it out it was a plain boring hot chocolate, again not what you'd expect like a fancy hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows etc especially since the tea and coffee with afternoon tea is usually unlimited and they only agreed to switch for ONE small hot chocolate. Overall the setting was pretty for photos but the food and service was a big disappointment. If we hadn't pre paid via a voucher then we would have probably gone somewhere else after they were awkward about changing the sandwiches.

The service was slow and like mentioned in other reviews, people were walking out as the staff didn’t appear to know what was going on. Alongside this, was the embarrassment of the manager raging at the staff in front of us customers as if we couldn’t hear. Ruined what had been a nice day as the experience of eating there left us feeling on edge and feeling as though we needed to apologise for eating there. Obviously won’t go back but will be looking at the little coffee and donut shop just up the road.

A group of six of us went there for an afternoon tea and after an initial warm welcome, they took our order - just drinks and cakes. Over an hour later, we got some drinks, but they were the wrong ones, so another 10 minutes later we finally got our correct drinks. Probably around 20 minutes after that we got some of our cakes, this is after some customers who had arrived after us, received their orders ahead of us. It didn't end there, when we eventually went to pay, there were many things missing from the bill and the staff seemed to be totally confused as to what we had. Quite unbelievably bad service.

The tea was average quality. The service was mixed (from what I could see at the other tables, they were getting a lot of orders wrong). What a mess. I used to come here all the time before Covid and it was terrific. I don’t know what has happened to it but I would not recommend going there.

When we arrived we were told they were understaffed and we’re not doing afternoon tea. The server eventually agreed if we came back in an hour they would have it prepared. When we came back, nothing had been prepared. Eventually got seated and served and the food was very poor. Was served an “egg mayo” roll with one piece of egg white in.

The staff were friendly, however not enough of them consequently slow and poor. The place was very dirty. The floor hadn’t been cleaned for some time. Furniture falling to bits. I didn’t use the toilets so cannot comment. It is a shadow of how it...

Despite some of these reviews, we had a great experience when we visited last week! The vanilla cake was absolutely amazing. A special thank you to Rudy, he was great! Provided us with fast, fantastic service. He was attentive, friendly and made our cake stop...

Had an afternoon tea here bought as a Christmas present. Very disappointed. Very slow service, took 30 minutes to get a coffee and 50minutes to get the afternoon tea. Food was OK as it goes, but I would have hated to have paid for it...

We have been to this location twice, and both times were not good. The first visit was disappointing, but we decided to give it a second chance….don’t bother. Service staff are nice enough, but very slow. The second visit was worse. After we sat down,...

I had a meal here. The davouries were terrible. I had a fish finger burger and the fish fingers were grey and tasteless. I gave up halfway through. Servie was slow. Meal was very espensive. Tiny rosties were £2 each. Avoid.

Walked in this place on a Monday afternoon. Wasn’t busy at all. Waited 15 mins to be seated, and wasn’t even seated!! We had to go and seat ourselves. Once we had seated ourselves, I was making eye contact with a waitress to try and get her attention, she comes over eventually after about 20 minutes asking what we wanted. I said we haven’t even had menus yet!! She gave us menus and walked off. We closed our menus to show we were ready and the waitress was no where to be seen. No other waitress in sight. We eventually got fed up after about 45 minutes of waiting, I don’t understand why the place had no waiters or waitresses or what on earth they were doing other than their job. Would give this 0 star if I could as we didn’t even get chance to try the food. Wouldn’t bother with this place on a Monday let alone on a weekend…

Tuned up after walking to this place half hour before closing time on a Saturday with my family and the manager lady said I've had a long day and it's take away only no sit downs. Very unprofessional, selfish and rude.

Stopped by for a cup of tea and a teacake in the morning, good enough but nothing fancy so was surprised for 2 the bill was over £15...smiled they charged us £1.40 for 2 mini pots of jam to go with said teacakes. Toilet facilities, unkempt, in need of decor and dirty. Needless 2 say will never revisit.

Took my partner here for afternoon tea for her birthday. It was not too bad. Nothing that special really. Food was not too bad. Only liked 1 out of the 3 sandwiches. Still have no idea what was in 1. Could definitely do a better range. Scones was the best part. Overall it was good. Abit pricey for what you get really.

There was confusion whether we had to wait to be seated or just take a table so we spoke to the waiter and he seated us instantly, menus arrived quick, they were very nice staff, very expensive and the food was so so it was decent to eat but the food wasn’t spectacular.

Attentive service by staff this Sunday - but the premises is looking worn. Needs a little TLC.

Overall it was a great experience. There was some confusion with whether or not we wait to be seated (the sign stated to do so) or to just walk in and sit, so while we waiting for about 30 minutes for a table, other parties were just walking in and snagging empty tables without the employees noticing. But, they were busy and for good reason! We had afternoon tea for 2 and everything was delicious, especially with our deal voucher for £25.
