I was looking for somewhere to take my mum for an afternoon tea on Saturday. It was very last minute and I didn't think that I would be able to get in anywhere, but I rang and they kindly let us book for that afternoon. Both myself and my mum are quite fussy eaters, and when we arrived I had a quick chat with the girl serving and she went out of her way to make sure that we did not get any sandwiches that we didn't like.
