After my sister was recommended this place for afternoon tea. We booked as we were told this was required for the afternoon tea. It felt awkward upon arrival and been told to sit anywhere. We did find a table which had some empty pots on. These were cleared after a short wait. From previous experience s of When I have booked afternoon tea at other locations, when we have arrived we were shown to a laid table, just felt this was a little higgled. we sat for little over 10 minutes the table was cleared.

The stars are...
