After asking if Lady Scarletts Tea Parlour was up for a challenge, I can absolutely say Tony, Ange, their daughter & young staff team are awesome & they most certainly delivered. From initial e mails to arrival at Ventnor Seafront, they pulled off the most fantastic Afternoon Tea for 7 including one vegetarian; one vegetarian Coeliac; one takeaway & 4 'normal'. The sandwiches were inspiring: cucumber & fresh mint leaves; guacomole & pepper; egg mayo; tuna mayo; smoked salmon & cream cheese; cheese & tomato; ham; ham & coleslaw and peppered mackerel. All were fresh & delicious. Then came fresh homemade fruit scones, clotted cream & jam followed by a fabulous collection of cake bites. Washed down with copious amounts of hot tea, in bone china from teapots with tea cosies. This was a perfect family Afternoon Tea, presented beautifully by Tony & Ange. In Mums 80th year, this was the most wonderful family time and the memory of today with stay with us forever. Thank...

We were given a lovely variety of mini pies, sandwiches, cakes and scones all accompanied by delicious tea served in china tea pots (with knitted cosies) to be drunk from bone china cups. The cafe is decorated with a huge variety of 1940’s memorabilia, both interesting and humerus which we all enjoyed. The service was excellent. We were given the right amount of attention and plenty of time and felt thoroughly relaxed. The food that we couldn’t manage to eat was beautifully packed for us to take away. I would thoroughly recommend a visit and will be returning myself with other...
