Three of us had afternoon tea at Greenwood at the end of November, and we were very impressed. (We have been for many afternoon teas in many places over the years). To start, the sandwiches were perfect; fresh and moist bread -they'd been made for our arrival- and excellent fillings. The little bit of homemade coleslaw in the cheese added an extra flavour dimension, and the ham was particularly tasty. The scones were the chef/owner's seasonal novelty with a little mincemeat in rather than sultanas -delicious, and the two pieces of cake per diner were from the selection baked in the shop. I like real cake; too many afternoon teas rely on macarons and weird pots of chocolatey goo that you eat with a teaspoon. Here the banana cake was delicious! The only slight reservation was that all the food needs plenty of tea to wash it down, and the young man kept bringing only half a pot at a time (but he was new). Finally, the retro crockery was very pretty, and we had a nice chat with the owner. Overall, a delightful and good value...
Read moreBooked an afternoon tea for my birthday. I was so disappointed with the food that was brought to the table. We booked tea for two we were given six finger sandwiches (with the crusts on) each sandwich had a different filling, so we had to cut them in half and share them. There were 4 slices of cake, the cake was dry and tasteless, again we had to share them by cutting them in half. We were then given 2 scones with tasteless strawberry jam and extra thick sweetened cream. We didn’t finish the food, I was so disappointed with the quality! Whilst we were eating there was no one available at the counter they disappeared into the kitchen. We ran out of milk and had to wait for someone to come back out. Overall a poor experience. We paid the £17.95 each and left as it was my birthday I did not want any fuss. I wouldn’t recommend booking the afternoon tea at this...
Read moreMy husband and I recently tried here for a late morning breakfast. We were welcomed warmly by the staff and allowed to pick our own table. The decor is tasteful and relaxing - the atmosphere is also very relaxed, we didn't feel rushed during our visit at all. The drinks were served whilst we waited for our food and we were regularly checked upon in case we needed anything. The food was delicious and well presented, warranting another visit in the very near future. All in all, I felt this establishment offered fantastic value for money, a relaxing and friendly atmosphere and a great menu with options for the bigger and smaller appetites. Street parking is limited however, there are local pay and display car parks. I am not sure if a toilet is available for customers as I had no use for one...
