Service wasn’t great. Had to go up to the counter to ask if we could order. Went here for a themed afternoon tea and it was diabolical. Nothing was fresh! For vegetarians, there was only jam sandwiches, had to ask for a cheese one. Scones were freezing cold and not fresh. All the dishes were dirty, even after they swopped the dishes, still received coffee in a dirty mug. Wouldn’t recommend coming here at all, not worth the money at all

We have visited quite a few times and it's been OK, today unfortunately it was terrible. I took my son for a treat as he loved the fish finger sandwich he had previously from here. My food was great, but on my sons white bread crust I noticed a squished dried looking half moon shaped thing. I picked it off to look closer, to me it looked like a dried up grub or very small larvae. It was flat and stuck to the crust so I assumed it had come in on the bread. I showed the waitress and suggested that they check the rest of the bread. She went away and spoke to the chef, she came back and told me it definitely was not a seed and they don't know what it is. Then she went to walk away. I stopped her and asked what are they going to do about it and she replyed with 'what would you like us to do?' I was shocked, at this point I wish I'd taken a photo of the grub, asked for my money back and left but I didn't want to cause a scene. So, I asked her again to check the other bread, if this is a larvae then it's serious. She then whet to fetch the manager who asked 'what's the problem', shocked again I told her what I found and how the waitress asked what I wanted them to do. The lady replied with, 'they are just young staff, the bread is brought in and sealed, implying it wasnt her problem or infact I'd made it up. She then said, I'll go to the kitchen and see for myself. We waited and waited, she never returned. We needed to go to collect my daughter so we went to the counter. This is what annoyed me the most. I asked if the lady in the kitchen (assumed she is the manager, she never said) is coming out, I don't want to just leave if she's expecting to talk to me and resolve the issue. The girl at the counter came back out from the kitchen to tell me, "Sorry, she's too busy to come out, they have a whole list of orders to get through." I was fuming I had already told the mamager before she disappeared that I don't want to make a scene but, now I'm left there after finding a highly suspicious grub looking thing on my sons food feeling like I'm an inconvenience and if she ignores me I'll go away. No apologies, no offer of refund, nothing but rudeness and terrible customer service. I will never return! Customer care does matter, read your reviews! Disgusting!

Came for some cake and a drink. Decided to take the cake away, was shocked that it cost £5.25for a small piece of cake. The portion sizes have 100% been reduced and prices hiked. I felt truly ripped off and it has left me feeling that I will not return again. Really sad as it's a nice place but just out-pricing everyone.

Lovely looking cafe but shocking service. Were seated for about 5 minutes when another 2 couples arrived and were seated. 4 staff behind the counter chatting and eating, nobody serving. Waitress eventually came over and served the other customers before us. That was the end of my experience there as we got up and left. Very bad customer service in my opinion.

Went here for breakfast recently, first time I had breakfast here but been here on several occasions before for light snacks or lunch and it had been ok , breakfast was well presented when it arrived but bottom of the plate was swimming in grease , it looked like the whole breakfast had been in the deep fat fryer together, sausages were quite long and thin , they tasted disgusting and cheap, also beans were very minimal actually only enough to fill an egg cup It is not the cheapest breakfast and deserves a bit of quality and attention. Definitely won’t be back here

Firstly, I'll say that the restaurant area was lovely if a little cold (it was a very cold day!). Likewise, staff were all friendly. They couldn't offer tea or coffee due to the pipes having frozen but could offer hot chocolate, so no big deal. The reason I'm giving this two stars when it could easily be four or five is simple: I was made to feel like my custom didn't matter. My daughter had the kids breakfast, my wife had the eggs royale and I had the main breakfast. I don't like beans or eggs, never have and never will! I asked if, as I was wasn't having beans or eggs, whether I could have an extra rasher of bacon. I was told that they could add any additional meat, but they could add on more toast or hash browns. Fair enough. I asked for a hash brown instead, and the waitress said 'do you want two?' Yes please. Two minutes later, the waitress came back and told me that the person in the kitchen (I assume either the chef or the owner) said that I could only have one harsh brown, and would I like to pay for the other one?! I declined paying for one as politely as I could muster. Honestly, it isn't the hash brown itself, it's the principle here. I was made to feel like my custom didn't matter. An extra hash brown would have cost next to nothing - certainly not more than the eggs and baked beans I'd omitted. It's such a simple thing, but coming back to the table to tell me I could only have one felt demeaning quite frankly, especially as the waitress herself had suggested it! The breakfast was nice but the flippant treatment ruined the vibes for me. Customer care matters!

Just had a wonderful Christmas afternoon tea, my niece took us for a treat and we loved it. It was presented beautifully. The cold weather had burst a pipe so no tea or coffee due to no water, but they gave us mulled wine or spiced apple drink in with price. I think the staff done well under the pressure. Would highly recommend.

We have been many times and it is always buzzing. Most beautiful homemade cakes I have ever seen. Yes, not cheap but huge portions so would probably share next time. The ciabbatta with brie cranberry and bacon is the best I have ever had. Beautifully presented, generous bacon and cheese. The side salad is so tasty. The coleslaw very nice. Their chips are gorgeous.. my cappuccino was hot and awesome. My mum's fish finger sandwich I had to take photos off unbelievable a meal ..the service was always quick and very professional. It is a unique place. The doggy area is so cool.. You can sometimes see the staff are very busy rushed off their feet. If there was a negative observation the ceiling has leaked water for sometime and needs fixing. Asap.. That one thing alone is spoiling it. But as for service and food 10 out of 10 for us.

After ordering a drink item from the menu, when it arrived it was a tea instead of a latte Upon viewing the receipt I had been charged the price of a latte but underneath they had written do tea instead So very sneaky charged me a higher rate but to his staff written to make the cheaper drink When I pulled them up on the mistake they had a poor excuse and only offered to refund the difference Furthermore I waited over ten minutes for the manager to come and see me (it was actually him that had severed us) He had also done this on a previous occasion charging us a pound to add a small portion of crisps to the side of a meal Yet when we came the following time we were not charged this Very annoyed at the customer service and believe they tried to pull the wool over our eyes

Took my kids for breakfast, loved it.. Unicorn Hot Chocolate. I had the bacon sandwich. Delicious. And we can take our dog in. We'll be back

The food was the best that we have had at any tearoom or cafe, for a long time, would highly recommend.

Great afternoon tea place, with a set menu with a good selection of sandwiches and excellent cakes and scones. We were offered extra sandwiches, along with refills of tea and coffee. There were some very tempting options available of fresh raspberry pavlova and possibly bread...

Cappuccino was awful, salad bar is really bad and needs improvement. Southern fried chicken burger was ok, nothing special. Very poor for the amount they charge.
