At £100 per head, this is not high enough quality. But if you don’t drink any wine then at £70 per head it is still expensive. We had starters, mains, and desserts. But it was simple fare eg prawn cocktail and tuna burger followed by sticky toffee pudding. Not exactly fine dining! Friendly staff and relaxed ambiance.

This place was suggested by a friend and it did not disappoint. From the lobby, to the waiting area to the table. We were lucky enough to be seated at a window. All of the food at the afternoon tea was exceptional. Our waiter Diego did an excellent job of recommending champagne and tea. The price was well worth the money, 10/10 recommend.
