Fabulous afternoon tea, in a recently refurbished room, beautifully decorated in lilac and silver. Ian was our host, and nothing was too much trouble! Sandwiches were really fresh and tasty, scones - plain and fruit - were warm and delicious. some small patisserie cakes too! Tea was topped up regularly, and boxes handed out if you couldn't eat it all! Would thoroughly recommend. Ian was a ⭐

My husband I visited Humphrey’s for our anniversary. The menu for vegetarian was so disappointing. The items on the menu were a mismatch , there was no specific cuisine type. I ordered the pea and mint soup as a starter. I had to ask for Salt and pepper as there was no seasoning . I couldn’t taste the mint and the soup was gritty. It was not smooth. Perhaps it was not meant to be, but seasoning should of been there. When the waitress asked how it was, I was honest and said it was not great . Her response “ ok” ! My main was chosen from their main menu, rather than the vegetarian menu ( as it was not enticing) I chose the mushroom risotto. The waiter told me that they can make the risotto vegetarian friendly (without Parmesan) . The dish arrived and Again no seasoning. I thought it was me being pickey, so I asked my husband to try abs he agreed , it was flavourless. I asked the waiter if they can add seasoning. He told me that due to no Parmesan the taste will be pretty much the same. You think being a fine dining restaurant they would have vegetarian alternatives to parmigiana cheese ( even I have in my fridge ). I then asked not to bother to remake with seasoning and thought maybe something from the vegetarian/ vegan menu will be better. I chose the spaghetti in tomato sauce. I was better of not ordering it and eating the bread. It was something a child would eat. If an Italian came To eat this , they would be appalled. I ate 1/4, out of politeness. I didn’t say anything, as at this point I just wanted to hurry up and leave. Final course chocolate fondant ... finally something that was great. I wish I had just gone straight to the dessert . When the bill came, I couldn’t believe that my tasteless meal cost £68. How can spaghetti in some tomato sauce cost £22. I have had some amazing simple pasta in fine dining Michelin star restaurant and willing to pay high price. But this, as I said is something a child would get at school. Also my husbands food was great , crab, prawns to start and halibut for main. That I understand to £68, but for vegetarian it was ridiculous. Even in Michelin star restaurant, the set menus or tasting veg menu is a little cheaper , so this place is just taking advantage. Vegetarian/ vegan food has come a long way and many chefs have learnt the art to take a vegetable and turn it into a incredible meal. This place has clearly not adopted this and think serving some spaghetti in tomato sauce with no seasoning is fine dining! Even other items on the veg menu didn’t look great. If you are vegetarian/vegan, do not eat here. Plus side, deserts were great and main menu was good ( according to my husband)

Great place, which has so much potential but needs new staff as their behaviour indicates they hate being there. Once you know their rules (I’ll list below) it can be a pleasant visit as you can avoid the people entirely and enjoy a nice drink, unless it’s a Latte….. Follow these top tips: Don’t ever pronounce latte incorrectly. Ask the man how to say it and then repeat as required. Don’t ask for a cheese and egg toasted sandwich the wrong way round. Read the order verbatim from the menu, that’s how he likes it. Don’t ask to use the toilet unless you have physical evidence of a purchase from the cafe in your hands. Although taking a sandwich to the toilet is not ideal, it’s saves you being gaslit whilst being desperate for the loo. Read all signs before entering the premises, even the ones you can’t see. Talk about the country of India, he’ll be putty in your hands. NEVER ask for a high chair, you’ll be sent to exile. Stick to these rules and you’ll avoid any psychological damage that would occur otherwise. Hope this helps others who are wishing to visit! I’d say it’s worth it, especially if you thrive off breaking the rules!

Food was OK, nothing hugely special and coffee was awful. They did accommodate gluten free but did not ask at booking so couldn't do dairy free on the day. It's not a bad atmosphere and the venue is dated (not unkempt just oldy woldy). I got married here 20 years ago and it looks the same... Timi, who served us, was fantastic and made the afternoon with her attentiveness and smile.

Have been here for the Sunday lunch and bottomless wine with friends and family on several occasions. It remains a firm favourite! Fantastic value for money, great setting and staff and the food is always of a really high standard, especially the roast beef. The house wines are excellent most notable the red but the white is also good and the staff are brilliant for providing alternatives for non-wine drinkers. I often finish with the cheese board as it is always superb!

Such a little gem of a cafe. The food is excellent. Really good quality ingredients. The staff are so lovely. I’m a regular for an all day breakfast. Best on the high street by far.

It is a lovely cosy ambiance and service is excellent. However drinks prices for wine are really high. Lower the prices and more customers will come. The place is immaculate - clean toilets and nice seating. Prices need adjusting but still a great asset to Farnham Common.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. The croissants are nice but not perfect, they need a little more bite. We gave them 6/10. The coffee was a bit disappointing, only 5/10. Great to see Monmouth beans used, but to be completely honest, the finished product is a level below independent coffee shops in London. The ratio of milk to coffee and water to coffee were off in our flat white and black americano, respectively. Still, nice place and I hope if they read this review they can take the comments constructively, because Beaconsfield needs a good independent coffee shop and we're counting on you!

Visited today and made to feel very welcome by Kasia who went off site to get coffee for us. Very accommodating and knowledgeable of the local area . Only wish I wasn’t driving so could have tried a guest ale or two! Heartfelt customer service and cookie the pooch was the icing on the cake . Thank you
