The staff, as usual, were friendly, efficient and accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. Great place to have afternoon tea in with lovely grounds to wander around afterwards. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful room, fresh generously filled finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and jam and a selection of tasty cakes. Washed down with tea made with tea leaves, not tea bags, and pink Prosecco. And a gift each for the two mothers in our party. And finally staff that were friendly, attentive and obviously enjoy working here. Recommend thoroughly.

The venue was decorated beautifully and the food was lovely, soo worth the money. They catered appropriately and accordingly to my vegan diet and was so helpful. The staff were approachable and friendly, and really got involved within the night! It was such a good night out and was such a laugh, we had the best time with the best music and drinks, it was such a lovely and welcoming environment and experience!!! Well done mulberry house! I hope this is a regular thing!!

The reception is a little tired old fashioned more than you 'd expect from the outside. The lady manning it was so much more pleasant on the phone when I booked (may not have been same person so I was a little disappointed by the less 'bubbly ' welcome on arrival; although she wasn 't unpleasant at all. However; I wasn 't there to inspect the décor I didn 't notice an 'old peoples home ' odour as a previous review mentioned. My Husband I were led through to the conservatory which has a lovely view of the grounds that are very well kept, but I have to say the chairs are quite uncomfortable for a larger person would benefit from a little cushioning the very crackly music playing became a little distracting, although it wasn 't loud. The food arrived rather quickly, so must be pre made I have to agree that the sandwiches are bland. We had salmon cream cheese, cheese cucumber I think 1 egg 1 ham, but I might be mistaken; the salmon one in particular was very tasteless. I noticed that EVERY other person had a mousse type thing on their display, but we didn 't, so I assumed maybe they 'd run out we were given an alternative, yet I think it may have been missed off as the group who arrived after us had it on both of theirs. I couldn 't be bothered to query it if I 'm honest. The selection of teas are lovely I tried 2 types, then we changed to lattes, which we enjoyed. I did leave with a satisfied tummy, but the cakes; although nice, are really tiny, literally a small bite each when cut in half, would be so much better to have one of each per person. The scones were lovely we could 've got additional for £1 each, yet more sandwiches was £4.95(? which I wouldn 't pay, as they 're just not worth it, not for 6 8 fingers. Overall we enjoyed the afternoon experience, as it 's something we haven 't done before, but I have to agree with some points from the bad review. I wouldn 't book it again personally, but only because it 's quite an expensive treat to pay out for, so I 'm glad we had a voucher on this occasion.

The setting was warm, nicely decorated and relaxing. The staff were approachable, polite and welcoming. My meal was Salmon with white sauce, potatoes and mixed vegetables with apple crumble and custard for dessert. It was cooked well, very tasty, nicely presented, right temperature and filling . I could have had some more as it was like comfort food! The other ladies meals all looked inviting and tasty . We all truly enjoyed our meals . I will return to the venue again to enjoy the setting and meals on offer.
