    Delicious afternoon tea but a bit pricey at £30 a head for what you got. 3 small finger sandwiches, 4 small cakes and a scone

    We were celebrating our 42nd wedding anniversary, food was amazing, we had one of each of the traditional and savoury afternoon tea, and shared...... Plenty to eat, great variety, great quality, staff were friendly, and helpful, surroundings were great. Definately will go again, lots of other things to do on site.
