The sandwiches a bit dry and parched on one side, you could tell not made fresh to order. Good choice of deserts although 3 out of 4 had fillings I don’t eat. Not their fault. Service, staff went above and beyond for our needs. Atmosphere was beautiful. Setting spectacular.

Great place to have afternoon tea at - amazing food and amazing flavor profiles. Had hoped for a more Mad Hatter setting than the posh setting of the Sanderson, like Alice themed decorations around the place. Loved the themed dinnerware though.
