Tale of Tea restaurant at St Mary's Guildhall in Coventry

A lovely setting, the food (we had afternoon tea, which has to be pre-booked) was delicious and the amount was perfect. The team were attentive but not overbearing.

Spectacular surroundings. We had vegetarian afternoon teas to celebrate our anniversary, and they were fabulous, including the most perfect cake I've ever had. The staff were so helpful and kind. Can't wait to go again.

Lovely brunch for 3 of us. Service very friendly and helpful, the food was great, the venue really lovely. Very quiet and relaxed atmosphere within beautiful stone vaulted arches. Perfect for a peacefull brunch. And the cakes! The cakes were a perfect end to the meal, just lovely.

Hidden gem within the guildhall building. Very close to the cathedral. We had coffee and cake which was very nice within a lovely setting. Afternoon teas are a speciality

One of the best afternoon teas I've had! Ambience was amazing, service was brilliant, loving the vibrant positive energy - especially with the manager and waitresses. Couldn't have done it better! 10/10! Will definitely come back again if I'm in Coventry.

The place is amazing. Is recommended for kids as well - the tables are a big help in keeping them busy. The history behind this place is impressive. The toilet is one of the most beautiful toilets I have ever been to.

Tales of Tea is in the Undercroft of St. Mary's Hall in Coventry City centre. The atmosphere in this restaurant is beautiful , steeped in hundreds of years of history. You walk into the courtyard from Bayley Lane leading to St. Mary's Hall. You take a door to the right, go down some steps into a large historical room with a magnificent vaulted ceiling. A member of staff welcomes you, guides you to a table and, if you intend to have a meal as well as a drink, he or she gives you a menu. You gaze around the room. Your eye catches a glimpse of a painting of Earl Leofric of Mercia and then a painting of Lady Godgyfu, the Anglo Saxon name of Lady Godiva. Really, if you are in Coventry you must visit this restaurant where the food is beautiful and you have a wide selection of drinks, and you are surrounded by centuries of history.

Had cream tea lovely atmosphere

Recently visited Tales of Tea with my friend. We both really enjoyed it. We were served by Famela who was amazing. Very professional and polite. Absolute credit to the restaurant she went above and beyond to ensure we had a nice time. Definitely will be visiting again. Thank you Famela for providing a fantastic service!

I had one of the best afternoon teas I have ever had here. The sandwiches were tasty (I was allowed to substitute the salmon sandwich for a cheese and tomato tart - which I did not regret), the scone was soft and still warm, and the dessert selection was top notch. This included a chocolate plant pot with chocolate mousse inside. It was delicious. The staff were really attentive and friendly. I would definitely go again. Please note that the only food they serve on Saturday is the afternoon tea.

Super afternoon tea in the beautiful medieval St Mary's guild hall, next to the old cathedral

Fabulous place my friend and I went for my Birthday treat and it was lovely amazing atmosphere Fabulous Afternoon tea a real touch of class especially in Coventry wheelchair friendly also a small shop just out side showing the events definitely a must see in Coventry

Very nice food, would be nice if cash was accepted. I know it's easier to go cashless, but as supermarkets find out several times a year, one glitch and you have to close if you don't accept cash. Good amount of seating, and prices are reasonable compared to the average.

Wonderful and intimate place to start your day. Splendid interior! Lovely and professional staffs. Our server Jez was excellent and very accomodating.

unique atmosphere & reasonable price

Called in here after a walking round Coventry looking at mediaeval buildings. Thought we would treat ourselves to the Drapers afternoon tea before visiting the guildhall. We were asked if we had booked but after replying that we hadn't the greeter checked with chef and said it would be ok. We were seated and order taken then our choice of teas brought out fairly quickly. After waiting 45 minutes and watching at least four tables who ordered after us be served we decided to leave. Staff never came to the table to ask if everything was ok during our wait & on saying we were leaving as we had obviously been forgotten staff were completely unconcerned.

Booked for my husband's 60th surprise birthday party. Absolutely lovely venue. The staff were so professional but friendly too, right from the start of the booking process to the night itself. The buffet was top notch especially the salmon. Lovely that bags were supplied so that guests could take a doggy bag home with them. Could not fault anything!

We came here to celebrate our daughter's graduation from Warwick, and it was just what we wanted. Historic building, friendly and relaxed atmosphere, and an excellent menu at what was a very reasonable price. Would definitely return!

I came there as my partner booked a spa day with afternoon tea and I brought my 12 yr old daughter with me both have dietary issues and they were extremely excellent in the way they sorted it I’ve never had gluten free scones I enjoyed as they always taste like cardboard but today I was so happy that they were so nice and the cakes they gave me were amazing will come back again and recommend this to anyone who is gluten free the chef is amazing and so were the staff thank you again as it was my birthday today too x

Our first visit here … small menu choice and three of the dishes not available. Although quiet it took over 45 mins for food and cheap chips. One big let down in such a beautiful place was that they brought the Guiness to the table in an unopened can with a Camden hells glass.. the staff should pour the drink and bring it over , it looks bad having a can on the table. Felt very disappointed!

We thoroughly enjoyed our late lunch. We will hopefully be back soon.

Excellent service, food and environment. The restaurant itself is really beautiful. Highly recommend

Worst place & worst scones ever, on a par w Bisquick mix. You are paying for atmosphere. as the staff took their time to wait on us, acted put upon, finally served up the driest, nastiest scones (non fruit) that were so stale (not heated) that they fell apart on touch. All in all a big disappointment. We waited so long, we would have left & searched for another place but it was pouring rain outside. No, there were only 2 other patrons there, so why it took so long to serve up a dry, cold scone is beyond me. We were not there for high tea, but an early morning bite before sightseeing.

The food was nice, but we thought the portions were somewhat miserly. There weren't nearly enough sandwiches on the plate - just three crustless finger sandwiches per person. There was too much pickle in the ham sandwich. The selection of cakes was disappointing. The scone was delicious, but we had to ask for more cream (just one very small pot provided for three people). The strawberry jam was some sort of curd rather than proper jam, which was a pity. Good atmosphere though, and the staff were lovely.

Great location, lovely food and lovely atmosphere, staff are amazing

Very nice restaurant ! Love it❤️❤️❤️

The food is in good value and the service is excellent, the atmosphere is great and comfortable. Would definitely come back and try their afternoon tea next time.

Delicious cod and chips with a light fish batter

This photo doesnt do it justice. A beautiful restaurant close to coventry cathedral. Down into the crypt i think very atmospheric. Best and biggest fish and chips ever. The afternoon tea looked yummy.

Very nice place. The atmosphere is very cool and striking. We had teas and coffees. The chai tea was delicious and the coffee was very smooth. The sizes of the teapots were large as well as the milk pots. The brownie was absolutely delicious. It is pricey but worth it for the taste and the atmosphere.

I had a great experience at Tales of Tea. I was welcomed by Lovely and Jordan, as they helped me choose what to have for breakfast. They were very welcoming and very professional. The mocha coffee was very good and the Victorian cake was mouthwatering. -John

Lovely setting. Excellent afternoon tea and service. Quite expensive though.

Interesting place 😍 After reading some odd negative review from other people. I will say this Place restaurant is the best, all staffs are different nationalities. Special mention to the staff (Mai) Go beyond to look after my 70 year old mum and daughter with disabilities issues. The food was so tasty we had mash chicken for my daughter Fish &chips for mum Cream tea for me. Delicious We will be returning back

We stopped in for Afternoon Tea during a short family trip to Coventry. We arrived 40 minutes early, and before heading down to the undercroft we took a spin through the Guildhall upstairs. The tapestries are beautiful and the docents/volunteers were quite informative. At the restaurant, the staff were also very friendly and prompt. The undercroft in which the restaurant is located is simply stunning and the seating set up in the space is quite comfortable with a generous supply of cushions. As other reviewers have mentioned, the Afternoon Tea service is had by reservation only. The food -- a traditional mix of scones with cream and jam, finger sandwiches, and cakes -- is pre-set with the reservation. You are offered a wide choice of beverages -- including a good selections of teas, coffees, or alcoholic beverages -- when you are seated. Our party tried multiple varieties of black and herbal teas, all of which were expertly prepared by the staff. The Red Berry & Rose Petals variety was a surprise favorite. The food was also excellent. On the savory bit, we thought the sausage roll, cucumber & cream cheese finger sandwich, and cheese tartlet were particularly tasty. On the sweet bits, the warm scones with jam were perfect and the chocolate flour pot was fun. It was a lovely, very delicious way to spend a rainy afternoon.

Not worth the price at all! Regarding our visit for the afternoon tea today, I wanted to bring to your attention a few things about our experience: 1. We had to wait about 15 mins at the door, no one came to take our appointment although we had the appointment at 3:30pm. No staff only two ladies. 2. We were just randomly placed and we asked if we could sit in one place at the corner, while shifting us they treated us with a lot of bad faces, almost uninterested and hated us for saying this. 3. Staff looked rushed, and took our food even before we finished, like almost trying to throw us away, felt racist as other white people who came before us were still eating. 4. When asked about a question regarding an ingredient in the menu the girl looked really unsure and almost was angry that I asked. 5. When wanted to ask for the toilet as I was paying at the counter, they asked me rudely to move aside from the till, although it was quite an empty afternoon. We waited outside in the rain Hoping she will come out to show us, but didn’t bother. Overall it was a really bad experience and one of a kind of all the afternoon teas I’ve ever had. Mainly due to the racist behaviour of the staff. I have done this job before as well, and we never could possibly treat our customers like this with this attitude. I’ll never go back here again, and also because I wanted to recommend my friends and colleagues about the place as I did for the Coombe Abbey one where I had an amazing experience, I’ll never be able to do this unfortunately.

Eye watering price for a cup of tea. Average ambience despite beautiful building. Staff disinterested.

Had a tasty festive lunch. Friendly service.

Was disappointed in the food being overcooked however I believe it's the norm as everyone had burnt fish.Staff was ok however I expected management to have staff wear more professional attire than a coombe abbey jacket and casual shoe attire.

Used to come to this place every week with my girlfriend for some food and tea. But after the new management took over around 2 months ago it hasn't been the same. We would come around 2pm (closing time online says 5pm and outside it says 3pm) and we would be told that they are not taking any more orders or on a different occasion that they are fully booked even though both their rooms were empty. Besides that there is no internet access here with no WiFi and half the time the food is overcooked. Tea is good

Pleasant surroundings excellent service, afternoon tea very good

This was a birthday treat that we waited to have due to illness. We were booked in for 12.45 arrived a little early but were seated straightaway . We all had a festive tea, the table was really nicely laid with Christmas crackers. We asked for no mustard which they accommodated. The food was very nice, the sandwiches were really fresh and plenty of filling. The scones were delicious as were the pastries. We were kept supplied with tea and coffee. The staff were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble. It was a very special treat thank you.

Hidden gem. Beautiful setting, brilliant service fantastic food 10/10

We arranged this for my sister in laws 60th birthday treat. The setting is stunning. The staff were lovely but the food was well short of the mark. We had the festive afternoon tea. 3 finger sandwiches and a scone which was dry and some mini cakes which were tasteless and mediocre in quality. It could be so much better with proper home cooking and tasty food. We were very disappointed as my sister in law had travelled a long way on a very cold day. There is no excuse for serving food that’s tasteless.

Well St Mary’s Hall is utterly stunning. The staff were polite efficient and friendly. But the afternoon tea was very average. Disappointing, as it could have been amazing. Too many mediocre cakes and not enough savouries. The cakes are pretty ordinary and a lovely bit of home made Victoria sponge cake or a freshly made scone would have turned a bland plate of cakes into a delicious experience. But it’s a wonderful place and we were very impressed. Shame about the afternoon tea though .

It is definitely a charming and quaint tea room, worth a visit. I ordered a cream tea. The pot of tea had two cheap tea bags inside, the ones you can buy in a supermarket. Disappointing really, I asked to have a pot of loose tea and they got me one straight away, which was good. However, how on earth such a renowned tea room even stocks cheap tea bags??

What a beautiful place medieval setting went for afternoon tea with my mum amazing memories that I am able to share with her. Our server Georia made our occasion much more special thank you 😊

Lovely food in beautiful surroundings

This place could be amazing. The setting within the guild hall is beautiful however the service really let our experience down. The wait for our afternoon tea was around 40 mins which considering you have to pre order was a very long time. A number of times we waited a long time to catch a waitresses attention and in the end had to go up the bar to request some extra milk and some clean plates. Food was really good but the poor service really did let our experience down.

Fantastic atmosphere, and a delightful place to have an afternoon tea experience.

My daughter's and I had an amazing afternoon tea. They treated me for my birthday. Would highly recommend Tales at Tea. The staff were so welcoming and friendly

We had a family gathering, and the food and service was excellent. It was the first time my family members visited the UK and the location and food was lovely. I would definitely recommend this place, especially if you like to eat in a place with such a calm ambiance!! We had a big party of 8 and the staff were very helpful, and approachable! We got the scones and it was simply amazing and everyone in the family enjoyed it, i would definitely recommend getting it! :) Thank you so much to Mae, and Lovely for giving such an amazing experience to my visiting family members.

Delightful venue. Had brunch items - Duck Scotch Egg and New York Deli club sandwich. Both were delicious but portion size was tiny for a brunch item. They would barely be sufficient for a starter portion on a menu. Would return but probably order something different if I was hungry!

A wonderful experience of afternoon tea made all the better by attentive service and friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you.

Fantastic service. Fantastic food. Fantastic place. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Will definitely return.

A wonderful place for breakfast in Coventry. Reasonable prices for the quality of food and service. Gluten free options available from the menu and also for the bookable afternoon tea.

A huge thank you to Mae, the chef and the wonderful team at Tales of tea. We hired out the back room in the undercroft (fitted 22 people) for our intimate wedding breakfast of afternoon tea. The staff, venue and food exceeded our expectations. Mae (the manager) helped us set up and prep the room the day before with table arranging, decor, cake table etc and it looked amazing. She even organised us all to have reception drinks on arrival outside in the sunny courtyard before our afternoon teas were brought in for all our guests and drinks regularly topped up. Mae even came in on her day off to ensure this ran smoothly and was coordinated so perfectly down to the bill! The service was fast & friendly, food was amazing and catered for allergies and veggies we had at the party! Thank you for the perfect dat, we will definitely return and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone to visit or even hold a reception/wedding breakfast there!

Food and service could be improved but the setting is fantastic 😍

It was just ok. Food was good. Fish and chips were lovely, pie was good but burger tasted a bit weird. We were a party of 15 and had yo pre order which is understandable but even though we had preordered, the wrong orders came out!! It took 2 waitresses and the manager with her phone to realise their mistake so they ended up just giving us a free burger because they were confused! The prosecco isn't the best and really expensive. The bar had no cocktails and had 1 non alcoholic beer! Maybe they should stock more?! Shame the organisation (or lack of) lets it down because it's a beautiful place.

Absolutely beautiful venue. Food and champagne was amazing and staff were so friendly and attentive. A shame it was the last night of the a la carte menu but will definitely return for brunch and afternoon tea. Thank you for an amazing evening.

Simply the best place in Coventry for an afternoon tea or a cream tea. Lovely cosy place, really nice staff and top quality food.

Came here for a Saturday evening meal. 3 courses for fixed price, food was excellent. It's a lovely setting and would recommend going for another meal event if they have some on for either Sunday dinner or over Christmas.

I took a friend here for a special birthday present and it was a complete rip off! The surroundings were spectacular and worth a visit as there is so much history here and the staff were helpful. Afternoon Tea £24.95 three small sandwich fingers one cheese & pickle, one egg & one chicken & tarragon, these were nice but too much tarragon in the chicken one. Unfortunately one slice of bread had been the crust which had been shaved off. Scones were served warm with jam (not homemade) and clotted cream. They were quite nice but far too much baking powder in them. The cakes were tiny - a sliver of carrot cake & chocolate mousse type cake & a mincepie - nothing special for the price. Tea & 2 scones £12.95 this was a complete rip off. Compared to other places I’ve had afternoon tea this was disappointing and I wouldn’t recommend it. It was a shame as I’d hoped it would be an ideal place for a birthday present. However there was a table near us having lunch and that looked very nice and if I went back I’d try the lunch.

Had a lovely lunch made all the better by our lovely server Seyi. She made our day brighter with her smile! A perfect match for a lovely venue and food. Menu was also excellent.

The best restaurant & food in Coventry. Great Food and excellent services we will be coming back soon. Thank you Mai for looking after us ⭐️

Would come back and would recommend BUT I have been here twice now and the service is not the expected standard especially for the price. They try hard but 2 serving staff for the while restaurant is tough when not a pro either. Very friendly team though. Also I would say it’s on the pricey side £24.50 for unlimited hot drinks (a pot tea) , 1.5 sandwiches, a scone and the equivalent of a dessert (4 mini’s). The building itself is lovely and quality of the food is excellent and its baby/child and wheelchair friendly in the main restaurant area.

Avoid.... food is awful. got our order wrong so 2 of us were eating infront of my 86 year old mother whilst she waited for hers. I'd finished before hers arrived. my £14 pasta was the size of a stater. supposed to be in a creamy sauce but was oily, and congealed after a while like butter. portion sizes of all 3 meals were not proportionate. burger was tastless, and fish and chips, when it eventually arrived, was hard as if reheated and chips were small and hard. was given a misley 10% off the bill !! the venue is great, really nice, just need a chef and waiting staff that matches the standard of the surroundings. A very disappointing birthday lunch for my elderly mother.thanks !

Attended an afternoon tea for a second time after really enjoying the first one in June.we arranged to take family , upon booking we advised 3 vegetarians . Previously we had been advised the menu, so we assumed it was the same -as the vegetarian menu is not available -you cannot read it -only the normal afternoon tea menu is -I’ve since been told it is in fact ‘chefs choice’ and we were advised you have no option as they are pre prepared . We weren’t told the sandwiches at any point ( we had to guess) even when put on the table It seems strange that it wouldn’t be managed in the same way as the normal menu -I guess vegetarians don’t need a choice or visibility of what they are eating? . I’d taken my 70 year old mum , who really enjoyed the egg on the previous visit so I queried where the egg was and asked if I could have as an alternative . The waitress was lovely and said she would and brought 3 small fingers out. The head waitress then charged over ,We were made to feel greedy as if asking for additional sandwiches ! The head waitress interrupted the party and advised we would be charged ( this wasn’t an issue to pay , but I would expect her to discuss at the end ) it was very embarrassing ! I’ve since emailed in and the reply justified the behaviour, such a shame as it is a lovely place -but I won’t now return as it seems they have changed dramatically since the first visit in June . So if you are a vegetarian make sure you clearly check before your visit what is being offered initially especially if you have any dislikes or preferences .

Really great food and the location is great. Amazing architecture and atmosphere. Very friendly and welcoming staff.

Lovely evening with great food and service. A la carte 3 course dinner, everything was really tasty. Staff were welcoming and very friendly.

Great location to enjoy a meal or cream tea with friends and family. Staff are very friendly and professional. Definitely recommend for a visit with friends and family.

Lovely period surroundings, friendly staff and well prepared food.

Good service lovely surroundings but staff needed to smile more 😊

We had an amazing afternoon tea experience with this restaurant. The ambience was really posh and unique I just love it! The different varieties of tea they serve tastes exceptionally good and the best I reckon was the rum arabica. As for the staff, they were all so pleasant and very welcoming. A big shout out to their manager named May for leading a very good team that day. I commend the crew who were serving us namely Lovely, Jordan, Hazel for being so accommodating. I just love everything about Tales of Tea! More power! ☺️

Had an absolutely wonderful afternoon tea here, both savoury and sweet. Food was delicious, service was excellent and friendly, nothing too much for them. The setting is beautiful and scenic. Highly reccomend!

Wonderful location in the medieval undercroft of the old Guildhall and delicious food and tea. The staff were so accommodating and kind when we arrived without a reservation. We wanted to order the afternoon tea but hadn’t realized one needs to book in advance. They offered to ask the chefs to make an exception for us, and it just worked out! We were thrilled since this was our last day in the UK. The sandwiches, scones, and mini-cakes were truly memorable. Everything was perfect. We’re so happy we were able to enjoy this experience!

If you like a little bit of quality you won’t be disappointed. Clean white table cloths, fresh flowers on the table (immaculate when we were there). Good service and nicely cooked and presented food. Booking in advance may be advisable. We were lucky and just walked in at about midday on a weekday.

I went for an afternoon tea for a friends birthday and it was the nicest experience - both the food and service was amazing so we really enjoyed it, whilst the location and atmosphere inside was also lovely. Would really recommend to anyone as they offer various options as well as the afternoon tea, accommodating to all.

Went for a birthday afternoon tea and had the loveliest time! The location was so beautiful and we had a great little room, also very well accommodated to vegetarian requirements. Would definitely recommend to check out

I came to Tales of Tea for a birthday afternoon tea with a few friends and was incredibly impressed with the building itself, located within St Mary's Guildhall. As the only vegetarian amongst my friends, I was entirely grateful for the separate and considerate catering....

I went with 7 ladies for lunch. We struggled to get the waitress attention to take our order as she was constantly bustling away doing other things. I had soup which was very thick and not very warm. Two friends had eggs benedict which again were not very warm . It is a cashless payment which would not accept one of our cards. The surroundings were lovely bur the food and service let it down.

5 star dinner, 3 course A-la-carte. Absolutely cooked to perfection! Wonderful service in this building! This is a hidden gem that should be aiming for the stars 🌟 Michelin stars! Fab place with really attentive service.

I don’t often put comments on TripAdvisor  but I felt compelled to do so on this occasion. My husband has Parkinson's, and as his journey gets more difficult for us both there are not many places that we feel 100% comfortable. Tales of tea...

Lovely place and restored well. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary so we thought £49.00 for a 3 course meal was worth it. Loved the starters, the puddings were lovely, hubby loved his main of chicken, i was very disappointed with my choice of the...

I visited with my mother in law and 2 kids (9 & 6). The setting is lovely and it’s the first time I’ve been since it changed hands. They’ve done a lovely job with all the plants and cushions and posh glassware and cutlery. It...

Loved this quirky place tucked away by the guildhall in Coventry. Choice of teas (I tried one of their fruit teas- amazing!) was great. Staff were pleasant and chatty, really enjoyed talking with Lovely and her sister about life in the Philippines. Couldn't really fault any about this delightful establishment - well worth a visit

Amazing!! Why wasn't there cues of people waiting to enter?? Full of history, tasty beautiful presented afternoon tea! Very attentive waiting staff. Can't wait for a return visit

A fantastic restaurant in the cathedral quarter of Coventry. A great venue serve a brilliant evening meal on Saturdays. Three course À la carte, spectacular meal for £49pp

Anniversary treat for my wife, so happy with the food and staff services, thank you Mai for treating us so well and yes we will come back again soon to have afternoon tea :) Also thank you to the manager Sofo

We thought that the afternoon tea was not worth the money You have one teir to share between 4 people the tea is so strong and not very warm. Would not recommend going there

O lugar é muito bem cuidado, ambiente agradável e cheio de magia.

Excellent fizz afternoon tea at St Mary's Guildhall this afternoon. Lovely food, great vegan and gluten free options, sweet or savoury afternoon tea. Friendly, pleasant staff, beautiful table settings, and a lovely interior. Thank you for a lovely afternoon. My only niggle was that the first pot of tea we had tasted lukewarm, but the second pot was perfect.

Such an amazing place to be! Very relaxing Ambience! Food is superb! Truly a hidden gem in the heart of Coventry. Exceptionally great service from the staff. The manager was amazing and friendly. Kids had fun too! I will definitely recommend.

We were recommended this place by staff at the cathedral and I'm SO glad they did ! We were shown to a table by a lovely young gentleman and had our order taken a few minutes later by an equally lovely young lady. Our food was served to our table after a short wait and was of a superb standard. Excellent value for money ! After all that good food and great service, the staff team went the extra mile when I needed to pay cash instead of card. While they had no change, just about every member of the team searched their purses or wallets to find the correct change to give me and were 100% gracious about doing it ! All in all, one of the best places we've ever eaten at. To the chef: fantastic food, thank you so much ! To the staff team: You're ALL amazing lovely people offering the best service !

Beautiful setting, staff were friendly, polite and attentive, the food was well cooked very tasty and fairly priced. The loose tea, especially the berry and rose petal was to die for. On my list of places to visit again.

You must book your lunch in advance otherwise all that's available is a cream tea.

We really enjoyed our cream tea, the atmosphere and setting made it all perfect, however Mikada (hope I spelt your name correctly!) went over and beyond for service. Our first table was quite close to some other guests and we had our child with us, so we requested to sit at another table so we wouldn’t disrupt the guests. Mikada ensured this was carried out smoothly and efficiently. Service was prompt, we asked questions about the menu which were all helpfully answered by Mikada, she came back to the table several times to ensure that everything was ok. The cream tea was so delicious and the scones perfectly warm, the tea lovely and hot and plenty of choice of different loose leaf teas. It was all presented so beautifully that we can’t wait to come back and explore what else they have to offer. Thank you all!

Very enjoyable afternoon tea for a friends birthday

Lovely afternoon tea for a birthday! Beautiful location, tasty food, attentive staff. The revamp of the room is lovely, very bright even being underground, option for a savoury afternoon tea was something I’d not seen before so I had to try it!

Sandwich were too cold, my reason for 4 stars. Singer was a little top loud if sat close, could have been planned better. Otherwise very good 👍 please do go.
