“Tea was beautifully presented and very tasty. Warm sausage roll was fabulous as were the exquisite coronation chicken bites. Sandwiches were well filled with the filling rather than the bread the dominate flavours. Warmed fluffy scones and homemade raspberry jam. Squishy brownie and creamy lemon posset. Beautiful, tranquil view.

A very enjoyable afternoon!”
