    An amazing experience! The food was gorgeous and the decor was insane! What a fabulous way to begin the festive celebrations. The Sugar Plum Fairy would have approved! Best food was the Stilton and Cranberry muffin followed by the Raspberry Ripple mousse. No way we were going to have room for it all but the carry home box was exquisite in itself. Thank you for a truly unforgettable afternoon. We will be back for the Regency in January!

    Thought the service was very good, food also very good, really friendly atmosphere. Need to lower the price of the Chapel Down, I pay approximately £140 per case, and that's brut, the one for £47 per bottle is very steep. But it won't stop us returning. Loved the place.
