"I visited for Afternoon Tea with five girlfriends. A few of us are from the UK, so have eaten at high quality Afternoon Teas in other hotels, not that we expected it to be the same: We are definitely not snobs! The good: nice decor, lovely fireplace (although unfortunately we weren't seated near it! , and what I would imagine would be a lovely outdoor deck in the summer efficient service (we were almost the only people there excellent choice of teas decent quantity of food The okay: all of the food was quite blah and didn't any memorable flavour. It was just okay. Specifically: some of the sandwiches were dry on one side, where they had presumably been left out. But still, they tasted fine. The egg salad was the best. the scones were... well they just seemed very similar to the ones you get in a coffee shop; nothing special usually, Devonshire Cream (or any cream for that matter , in a traditional Afternoon Tea is clotted. The cream we had was whipped. the pastries did not appear to be made in house. It was a mixture of average sized pastry that was cut up into small pieces, mini eclairs and mini macaroons the only item that was memorably good was for the chocolate and mint macaroon We were pretty hungry but still left about half the pastries and a few sandwiches. The tea selection was excellent, the coffee was fine, the service was very efficient and friendly. The ambiance was lacking as was almost empty, however the surroundings were lovely, so on a busier day or maybe at a different time of day it could be really nice. Probably be a great summer brunch/lunch spot ! ."
