Usually love this store. The actual shop and products are lovely but unable to rate any higher due to the arrogance of the staff. Customer service is shocking. Unless you want them to look down their nose at you. When I entered the store the product I wanted to buy said 3 for 2. Which for the price I thought that works quite well. Exited the shop to call someone to enquire colours and when I returned 5 minutes later the sign was gone. Obviously they had over heard me saying about the deal.

Thank you for your help with this surprise...
Read moreHired the tea room on a Sunday for a private party and it was fab. Martin was so great at communicating before the event and nothing seemed too much to accommodate. There were 23 at the private party and I would say that was about right for the size of the space etc. good quality food and drink provided, especially the huge scones - they were a great success with everyone! There wasn’t a charge on the actual room hire, I just paid for the food and fizz and drinks we had, but imagine that would be based on the day you choose to go and the package. Staff friendly, happy to help and the quintessential feel of the tearoom means there’s a great balance of what you’d want from the experience. Will certainly use again and...
