The burger was exceptional, made with high-quality minced beef grilled perfectly. The chips were crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The fish pie was filled with flavorful and flaky fish topped with a thin layer of potato. The pasta dish had a delicious tomato sauce and was cooked to perfection. The desserts were all tasty, but the chocolate and orange brownie stood out as the favorite. The restaurant also offered a great selection of wines and beers. The staff was helpful and friendly.

The hotel's atmosphere is traditional and elegant, with china tea sets, silverware, and decorative ornaments in the room. The tea is served on a veranda by staff dressed in classic black and white uniforms who are very friendly. The tea included delicious crustless sandwiches with fresh bread and tasty fillings, as well as excellent scones with high-quality cream and jam. The cakes offered were either chocolate brownie or lemon, both tasty but not particularly unique. They also offer a selection of English tea or alcohol. Despite not being as upscale as some London hotels, the price of £18.50 is very reasonable and much less than what you would pay in London. The hotel and dining room have a charming and delightful atmosphere, making it a great choice for afternoon tea.

After a few years, I decided to visit for Afternoon Cream Tea, opting to sit in the restaurant instead of the long veranda adorned with flowers. The service was prompt and friendly, with Earl Grey Tea and coffee, scones, sandwiches, and cakes presented on a traditional stand. It was a delightful experience, allowing me to relax and enjoy the pianist's music while watching the world go by. I will definitely be returning in the future.

What makes this 5 stars for me is the quality of the food coupled with the pricing which makes for very good value indeed. read more What makes this 5 stars for me is the quality of the food coupled with the pricing which makes for very good value indeed.

The evening Meal was a real pleasure. I love the fact that when you book for Dinner they ask for a time you would like to eat and ask that you arrive in the Lounge/Bar 30 minutes prior to peruse the Menu and order and then when you are seated at your Table your meals is then served . The food was beautifully cooked and was delicious . Highly recommend .
