We attended using a Groupon. I completely forgot to make a booking (doh!), but they were able to seat us anyways. Unfortunately the good service ended there - we were asked about our prefered cocktail drinks, but never about the tea. Eventually we flagged down someone and they gave us a short list of the available teas (but we walked past a bunch of tea boxes on the way in...?). I got up and looked at the different teas and made my selection. The food was alright, but nothing special. The bread for the sandwich was a bit dry, the icing on the ginger cake was delicious; the strawberry cake was a tad too sweet, the panna cotta was very smooth; the jam seemed store bought, there was plenty of cream. A mixed bag.
