We visited this beautiful hotel for afternoon tea to celebrate my sister's birthday. We were greeted politely by the waitress and shown to our table. We had booked for 3 and while she had believed the booking was for 2, she quickly and without fuss laid an extra place at our table.
The choice of teas was extensive, and arrived in a beautiful teapot, which we felt added to the decadence of afternoon tea. The bread of our sandwiches did appear a little thick, but the fillings were good.
The scones (1 fruit and 1 plain) were beautifully light, and arrived warm with jam and cream. Our cakes were excellent, we enjoyed a chocolate filled pistachio macaroon, a lovely moist orange cake with crystallised fruit on top and a choux with fresh cream and lime filling.
The restaurant staff were attentive but not intrusive and background music was added half way through our tea.
Overall, a very enjoyable, relaxed and special birthday treat.
