I'm from the U.S so my experience comes from a different perspective than native U.K residents. I first walked in and thought that this looks like where you'd take your little girl for her princess themed tea party. It was quaint and cutesy looking but my friend had told me the reviews were fantastic. I couldn't help but look around and really take note of the table cloths, the vibrant pink cushions on the chairs, and the floral wallpaper. It did start to grow on me. The servers were very sweet and attentive and happy to answer any questions. The snazzy hot cocoa was something I couldn't help but get a photo of just because it was so amazing. My English Rose tea was floral and strong without being soapy. It was brilliant and bright. I could have made myself sick by drinking too much of it just so I could keep having more. The food was equally amazing and fresh, and I loved my chicken breast sandwich with the pesto mayo. Don't forget to browse the shop rooms upstairs! This place is wild, whimsical, and a little weird, and that's what makes it so amazing. I will absolutely return...
Read moreWent for afternoon tea for 2 as a change from our usual meal out. It was absolutely full....luckily we had booked. The tea menu is very varied, a very good choice for tea lovers. Decaff tea also, but coffee isnt included. The crockery was lovely...lots of mismatched stuff which is what we like. Altogether we had 8 finger sandwiches and 6 small pieces of cake.

The Price came to just under £35 for afternoon tea for 2. That included an extra pot of tea for 1. Only thing I would suggest is more tealeaves in the pots as I found my tea a...
Read moreAdore going here. Poppy has done her best to make it accessible. I don't think a wheelchair would work there, but for the ambulant disabled, there is a downstairs toilet, the new extension area has handrails to access it, and there is a gran rail and extra step at the front door. The decor is incredible, so cosy and pretty, with fairy lights, vintage displays and some amazing wallpaper. The only hot food is toasties, but there is no need for anything more. The sandwiches are freshly made to order, the cakes are home-baked, the tea is served in bone china and there is an excellent tea menu. Every visit feels like a treat, the staff are amazing, and Poppy herself is always friendly and beautifully turned out to match the ethos of this very pretty tearoom and shop. Gorgeous vintage things and new clothes are on sale on the...
