Booked a pre Christmas afternoon tea for myself and my husband. Lovely choice of sandwiches and cakes, even catering well for myself, a vegetarian. Free coffee top ups and all served with a smile. Nothing was too much trouble. Was a lovely peaceful meal away from the madness that is Christmas. Thank you
