Very expensive for breakfast will not be back. Used to have free tea with breakfast but now a 5 piece fry is £6 and then you have to buy your tea. Not worth it! Will not be back

I frequent this restaurant for lunch or coffee often and always enjoy it, so I decided to try their afternoon tea. It was incredibly lovely and a great deal for the price. The menu is contemporary and doesn't include traditional sandwiches, which I appreciated. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance as it's popular. The staff are friendly and professional, and the food quality is excellent.

We had lunch here on a very busy Saturday. I was very impressed with the range of food available and everything we ordered was very tasty. A fab range of scrumptious tray bakes too! Very reasonably priced.
