After several Google services, I came across Dotty's website, it is well put together and really grabbed my attention Seeing Dotty's in real life was like a dream. The establishment is beautifully decorated and you can tell the owner really invested in the place and the people who work there. There is a pink bicycle parked outside, the establishment is pink, the decor is very elegant--perfect for a photo op I opt to do the afternoon tea with Prosecco added on as well as some scones to go. It was a very fair price per person. Under £80 for the entire experience for 2 people. They also sell other assorted desserts, shakes and cakes All the employees were attentive, they explained in detail what our package came with and they made sure we were happy from start to finish. EVERYTHING was delicious! From the English tea down to the Pimms jello HIGHLY RECOMMEND 10/10!!

I stumbled on the listing while doing a search for tea places before I left Washington, DC to travel to London. Unfortunately I didn't make the reservation myself (relied on family in London to make it) so we didn't get booked for the afternoon tea service as I'd hoped and just had a reserved table instead. Still, I indulged in some scones with cream and strawberry jam, paired with a strong cup of decaf English breakfast tea. The staff is very friendly and took the time to explain the drink and pastry options to us. I hope I get a chance to visit again for the full tea service before the end of my trip!

We queried why the bill was higher than usual only for her to start ranting that she is running a business and that because I did not want the salad with my omelette and wanted beans instead, it was not free and I was charged extra - so why did she not give me my salad if it came with the meal? She says she is running a business but I do not think she really knows how to treat customers. I know a friend who will not return either since she was rude to them. Her rudeness is not endearing it is vitriolic and very unpleasant.

Was told by the person who served us that there was new management who had implemented non- payment of cash. I asked the staff member to relay my thoughts to the manager and she said there had been plenty of complaints. I told her that I would definitely not visit this place again. Appalling to be told how to pay for goods and hope they have more complaints. Cash is still legal tender and I do not understand how it is legal to refuse any form of payment.

The ale selection on tap was a little odd - I think 5 pale ales plus one amber ale, in December, with no dark ales at all but the Kernel export stout in bottles was delicious if a tad pricey. Apparently it's often on tap so keep an eye. The Christmas burger was incredibly good - the combination of camembert, cranberries and mustard mayo brought so many surprisingly complementary flavours and fundamentally the meat itself was fantastic. Best burger I've had in a while. I liked how there is a video games corner - a comfy sofa in front of a tv and you can borrow mario kart from the bar! There's also table football and pool and it got very noisy as competitive spirits rose, so caution if you're looking for somewhere really calm, but overall I'd love to come back here and will try to do so as unfortunately it's likely to close due to some horrible luxury micro flat development killing the only thing in the area that would actually service the tastes of the kind of people in the market for a luxury micro flat. Will be a real loss for Croydon if that happens.

Owner also sells different tea including puer tea. For now they serve Alchemy Coffee which smells and tastes amazing - it's a place worth to visit if you are real coffee-lover. I've been looking for a good coffee in Croydon for ages and finally found it in Crushed Bean! Soon they also going to open sitting area downstairs that will be possible to hire for private events as well. Prices are more than affordable - £2.20 for Latte and just £1.20 for fresh baked kiwi square, such a bargain! They are working closely with The Bread Factory based in Hendon for a great choice of pastries and snacks on offer. There are also hot and cold sandwiches that looked yummy if you are hungry. Service is great as well - guys who are also the owners are very friendly and know what they are doing, wish them good luck and hope they will soon grow into a chain available all around London. Definitely recommend!

So, both teams were all assembled by the time he got there to make the official decision not to play. As we had already cleared time in our schedule to play, my team decided instead to have breakfast together. A quick wander through Cheam Village brought us to Piggies, which was warm and serving cooked breakfasts. Piggies offers a full sandwich bar service but cooks hot breakfasts to order as well. My team had a variety of different items, ranging from scrambled egg to sausages to mushrooms. Other than a few mixups with orders, the food did arrive quite fast. Piggies was a nice place to spend a morning warming up after the disappointment of not being to play our match.
