It was the most inexpensive Afternoon Tea, and it was also in Kingston. I really enjoyed this place because of the service and atmosphere. We were greeted as soon as we walked into the restaurant. I had an appointment at 1pm, and they had my table ready. After we sat down, we were asked to select our teas. I selected the Passion one because it had the best aroma. It ended up being refreshing. I was surprised that it was actual tea leaves because I was expecting regular teabags. The teas tasted phenomenal, and all the desserts and treats were superb. The restaurant is relatively new, and there is a Hilton next door. I loved all the treats. The servers kept checking on us, and saying hello to us. I truly enjoyed my experience. Both of the servers were excellent. Please keep up the good work with excellent customer service, and I plan on coming here in the future again. I wish I had brought more pounds to give Julia a tip! She was excellent. I loved her spirit! Also, the bathroom is amazing. The place had excellent decor. Please maintain all the great qualities about this place such as the food, service, and the decor.

The sandwiches were not very inspiring or dainty and the cream was not clotted ! The staff were apologetic for the delay as they said all the kitchen staff were new !

The vibe is 1970s style with furnishings and background music from that decade - so I hope you like Starsky and Hutch !!

Burger: worst I've ever had across 3 continents. Sauces: gross. Over-cluttered chaotic decor is like if TGIFridays had a baby with the character of Trader Joe, then wrapped it in Antiques Roadshow. Bill's managed to be both under- and overwhelming, at once. We weren't going to even say anything about how bad the food was and just wanted to get out of there, but our server noticed the uneaten ribs and insisted on taking them off the bill for us, which was very sweet and we really appreciated that. Avoid this place.

I've been here on a couple of occasions and it's true, for someone (like me) who is a fan of healthy eating, you do need to choose fairly carefully, if you want to avoid outrageously fat-laden cuisine. I like the fact, though, that you can also get a take-out container here for just £4; that really suited me one Sunday evening when I hadn't eaten and not much was open. I chose some delicious king prawns and noodles with mini-spring rolls, vegetable samosas and prawn crackers on the side. Brilliant value and sweet service but not advisable to be eaten every day!

With almost full length windows, there's plenty of comfortable seating, so that you can enjoy panoramic riverside views, as you eat or drink. Wide-ranging food choices are available, on five counters, from snacks (including gluten-free bakery items) to mouth-wateringly indulgent sweet treats, appetisers, hot and cold meat, vegetarian and fish main courses and enticing-looking sandwiches. My espresso was delicious and reasonably priced at £1.40 but I was a little shocked to find that a roll (to accompany a bowl of soup) was a fairly hefty 95p (a sign of the times, I know). Attractive water-themed artwork lines the walls, staff are smiling and enthusiastic (although some of the tables could have done with being cleared and cleaned); the place has an appealingly bright, fresh look and wonderful views. A useful stopping-off point on a shopping trip or riverside walk.

I admire this clever idea, that has recently been put into action, at select branches of the high street supermarket chain. Once you've paid for your shopping, the cashier will hand you a little green plastic token (at no extra cost). On your way out, you'll notice three large, transparent, plastic containers filled - to varying degrees - with the little green 'buttons'. Above each container, there's a summary of information relating to each local project, charity or good cause. After reading about them, you make your choice, deciding which container is most worthy of your token, place it in the green-'coin' slot and, at the end of the month, Waitrose will divide and donate £1000, accordingly, between the three chosen causes. Each month the selected local good causes change; if you have a deserving project in mind there are leaflets on-hand for you to provide details for consideration. What a brilliant, original and smile-inducing idea!
