I was given an Afternoon Tea voucher and took a friend one Sunday.
I did not even know this hotel existed but was pleasantly surprised and there was parking available. Great when you do not have to drive round and round.
It was clean, bright, looked inviting and was busy with lunches, snacks and afternoon teas. Customers looked and sounded happy with their meals.
The Afternoon Tea was the usual compliment of sandwiches with the addition of a slice of filled tortilla (nice touch), scones, jam with cream and lots of mini cakes. So many, I took some home. Only problem and it was my fault was that half the sandwiches were smoked salmon. I love it but my friend does not. I ate them and she had the rest.
Only slight niggle was that we waited ages for our tea and the red wine we had ordered and had to ask. Sitting looking at food waiting for a drink is not my idea of fun. Staff were young but helpful and smiley and were full of apologies for the delay. They made the tea fresh themselves. Not a deal breaker, just a tiny bit annoying. Friend said I was being picky and she enjoyed the whole experience.
I will return and try lunch. read more
