Came here to visit nursery, but thought we’d have a little something to eat. Medium size tea room, plenty of seating, spaced out well. Outside seating is also a...

Recent reviews of the restaurant have been mixed. Some customers were disappointed with long wait times, menu items being unavailable, and a decrease in portion sizes, while others praised the food quality and friendly staff. One customer mentioned a lack of communication and inability to fulfill orders, leading to frustration. Despite this, the tea room offers a variety of options, such as fresh sandwiches and high-quality ice creams, with attentive staff and a pleasant outdoor seating area. The overall experience varies, with some customers enjoying the food and service, while others found it lacking in different aspects.

Food and atmosphere fine, rather pricey and junior staff require more training.
