Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The finger sandwiches have become a highlight for many, with flavors like cheese and lettuce or egg and mayonnaise showcasing freshness and creativity. Guests rave about the warm scones, served just out of the oven alongside clotted cream and fruity jam, leaving a lasting impression. The selection of cakes, often leading to leftovers that patrons eagerly take home, draws crowds. Fantastic service also earns consistent praise, with staff members making every visit comfortable, and atmosphere adds to the overall experience. Karaoke and Poker nights on Thursdays offer community engagement, turning an evening out into a lively event.
Most Disliked
Some may find the Thursday night rush overwhelming as the bar reaches full capacity, leading to longer wait times for service. While the afternoon tea's extensive offerings are generally well-received, certain items can sell out quickly, especially during peak hours. The quieter atmosphere on less popular days may not appeal to those looking for a livelier vibe, though it can be perfect for intimate gatherings. Additionally, some patrons have mentioned that prices can appreciably rise based on the menu choices, particularly with the inclusion of cocktails, which might affect budget-conscious individuals.

Had a wonderful Afternoon Tea with my daughter. Lovely selection of finger sandwiches which come in the flavours cheese & lettuce, egg and mayonnaise and prickle. Both cheese and fruit scones served warm which tasted delicious which were served with butter and fresh clotted cream and strawberry jam, the savoury sausage rolls had the perfect hint of herb and spice and were warm as-well. The staff were also polite and friendly highly recommend this afternoon tea well worth the money.

Food here is great and the chefs look after you. Peter the manager always looks after you. I tend to only go on a Thursday with a small group of friends for drinks and Karaoke. They also run a Poker night which has goþen 9 people into the National competition.
