The staff at this restaurant are so friendly and attentive, the food is freshly prepared, and the pot of tea is huge. We are fortunate to have this place so close by and cannot wait for our next visit. Thank you!

The family who owns it are truly attentive to their customers, providing a refreshing change from the usual chain restaurants in London.

Delicious food. Delightful service. Charming setting. We've been before for more traditional fayre, afternoon and cream teas. Today we tried the Friday menu and we weren't disappointed. We both had the beef satay rice noodles which were yummy and very filling. Will definitely be going again.
