Really quirky olde fashion tea rooms. Small with limited seating but loads of character and a really extensive choice in their menu, my friend is vegan and was overwhelmed at how much choice there was for her.
We waited to be sat, and were given menus once sat. Two further parties came in and sat after us. Slightly annoyingly those parties had their food order taken before us, meaning that our wait to eat was going to be even longer and we were starving! Our order was taken and as food is prepared fresh it was explained we would have a little wait.

Needless to say…on reporting the experience to another friend she said she’d seen a notice advertising…for a CHEF !! THAT SAID IT ALL !! It will be a long time before I recommend this establishment to...
