Called in for breakfast this morning, sat down at 10:50, a member of staff took our order 15 minutes later. Another 25 minutes and still no breakfast, told staff we couldn’t wait any longer. 40 minutes to get a breakfast in a not very busy place is ridiculous. Noticed when tables were cleared they were not even wiped down, our table was dirty from previous diners. One cleared table had used napkin left another had used teaspoon left.

I had a vegan sausage baguette with tomatoe chutney, plus a side order of leek and potatoe soup - fabulous!
My wife had a vegetarian quiche, which she thoroughly enjoyed.
The surroundings are stylish and comfortable, pricing is very reasonable.
One tiny observation, some additional signage to the Tearooms from within the main building might help the navigationally challenged, like me!
Highly recommended, we will be...
