    Not my first high tea at Van Loons, but very impressed today. The staff were very accommodating and friendly, food delicious and cocktails and mock tails totally gorgeous. Although not the cheapest in town, we think it was value for money and a great afternoon celebrating a special birthday. Thank you again, it won’t be our last visit.

    Overall.everything was very good but we had one person who was garlic intolerant and except for the breakfast options she had no choices. After asking there appeared to be no effort made to accommodate her needs. Service was a little inconsistent with some drinks appearing and after asking there was still a wait for the others.More help needed behind bar perhaps. Really appreciated being able to settle the bill individually.
