Feeling pretty disappointed at the service today. We went for Mum’s birthday and had called up first thing to ask If they were serving high tea. The person on the phone said they were too busy and that there wouldn’t even be Devonshire tea soon, as they’d sell out.

When I had to line up to ask someone to wipe down all the food scraps still on the table, I was told to simply sit at another table. As there were no other free tables inside and we had an infant, we didn’t want to sit out in the cold. I asked for a cloth to clean it myself. The staff member then aggressively went and cleaned our table.

When we were finishing our food, a staff member started clearing our plates and glasses, even though we’re were still using them.

The food was really good, the setting was gorgeous and the owner seemed really nice, but some of the other staff were very professional.
