The eggs benedict was done just right, with the hollandaise on the side. A lovely start to the day.

The bacon sandwich was really good - nice thick bacon and proper bread. The full breakfast was fine, hot and decent value.

The scones were the star here. Big, warm, and crumbly, served with a really good quality strawberry jam. The clotted cream was spot on. A proper, no-fuss cream tea. The place itself was quiet and comfortable, which was nice.

The loose leaf tea selection is really nice. But the bagels are the star - so fresh and stuffed full. The little garden out back is perfect for a sunny afternoon. Just a lovely, quiet spot.

Lovely little tea room. The afternoon tea was generous - two rounds of sandwiches, a big scone, and a proper slice of cake. The tea selection was decent, though I would have loved a glass of something sparkling to go with it. No rush at all, which was nice.

Nice spot for a relaxed afternoon tea. The scones were lovely, but the real star was the tea list &ndash; found a great Oolong that paired perfectly.

The Assam was robust, a proper malty brew that held up well even after the pot cooled a bit. The large pot size is a plus, lets the leaves really open up. The oolong selection looked interesting too.

Lovely vintage vibe here. The cafetiere coffee was good, but the trio of macaroons really stood out. The blue caramel one was spot on &ndash; not too sweet. Staff were friendly and looked sharp. Prices felt fair for what you get.

Staff were lovely and the place had a nice vibe. Food was tasty, but the portion sizes felt a bit small for the price. I left still feeling a bit peckish, which was a shame.
