They prefer you make an appointment, mostly so they have a table big enough for all of your goodies (should you choose to have the proper afternoon tea, which includes lots of different items). We arrived on Friday for our reservation at 1 pm and there were two or three other groups there. The place is charming, with that homemade feel. They offer several options for afternoon tea, ranging from about £5 for a cake/scone and tea, to around £15 for the finger foods and lunch options. I opted for the former and had a scone with grapes (they were out of plain scones) and lemon ginger tea. My wife had the same scone with chamomile. We were both very impressed with the quality of the food and the lovely service we were given. They have more than just tea. They make proper cakes and serve breakfast and lunch, as well as offer unique specials. This is place is a must try!

The prices are great value. Beautiful kitchen layout. Great view of the docks. Warm, friendly, could even be romantic if you're looking to have a relaxed meal with that special someone. Hipster place without the hipster gate keeping. The music and aesthetic made the meal even more enjoyable. My favorite foods here were the breakfast bake and the croissant - their jam is to die for, I'm already missing that taste and it's been like 10 minutes since I ate it. Also the coffee warmed me right up. You will NOT be disappointed if you start the morning with Peaberry.

Being located just over the road from the school, it obviously makes a killing of a lunch time, with other local schools being only around the corner as well, and you can see why it's so popular. Offering a range of bread for your sandwich as well as a variety of freshly made fillings, Alexander's excels at the ancient art of putting two pieces of bread together and putting something in the middle. The fillings available are hot or cold depending on your order and represent a good alternative to the local chippies when it comes to lunch. They also offer a range of sweets, crisps and drinks to accompany your sandwich and they have started doing various flavoured milkshakes (the Skittles one is particularly fruity and flavoursome), meaning Alexander's provides a great place to grab a quick bite on the run or to eat in.

It may be somewhat hidden down St Johns Road, but their tables are always full of diners whenever I go past, which is always a good sign for such a small establishment. Interestingly, they also offer free wi-fi internet (no doubt in an attempt to swing those Starbucks fans who like internet access with their cup of coffee) as well as access to a photocopier, scanner and fax machine. Quite what the old dears in there would want with a fax machine, I don't know, but it's a nice touch nonetheless. The food there is all very tasty and reasonably priced for what it is, meaning the Copper Kettle is a lovely place to go for a cup of tea or for a spot of lunch or dinner.

The café itself is quite small and somewhat squashed, perhaps suggesting that they expect most customers to not even stay in their shop to finish their food before leaving. The food on offer there is a pretty basic selection of toasties, panninis and sandwiches (including a selection of Subway-esque daily subs, wonder where they got that idea from?), all of which are quite cheap and pretty substantial for a lunchtime snack. They also offer a range of coffee and tea options to go with your purchases, as well as a selection of breakfast options too if you're up early enough. The front of the shop also boasts wi-fi availability here, but I doubt I'd fancy sitting in here long enough to have a good surf of the Internet, myself.
