I had pre booked an afternoon tea for my sisters birthday, and when we arrived we were not disappointed. The external was welcoming and clean, and we were greeted within seconds of walking in the door. We were seated quickly by very friendly staff who had asked about our day, and made sure we had everything we needed. Once the beautifully presented afternoon tea arrived, we were totally suprised at what was actually on it. We were thinking the usual type sandwiches, but nope, it was beautiful Mediterranean foods, an array of colours and packed full of flavour. Throughout the time we were there, staff were happily chatting to customers coming through the door, but also cleaning and ensuring the shop looked spit-spot.

Menu looks interesting but business looks like there is no heart and soul.Won’t be returning.
EDIT based on the owners response I would like to clarify that upon entering the shop I was infact told by the server to take a menu and that he would come to me and take my order. Otherwise I would have ordered at the till. Another customer was infact served before...
