We had come here on a Sunday morning at 11:00 am for high tea. When we walked-in, we were the only guests there, which made us feel comfortable, as we were able to have the place to ourselves. We were greeted by a younger lady, whom brought us over to a table. We were then given menus to choose our teas, and asked what our children had wanted to drink. Since we had made reservations, all of the food items were prepared in advance, which was handy, as it didn't take long for the items to come to the table.
As we were waiting for our tea to arrive, we were impressed with how cute the tearoom was. There were many photos on the wall, which were handmade by an artist, showcasing the name of the tearoom. The decor was all pink, which was showcasing an Alice In Wonderland theme. I found that everything looked clean, neat, and inviting. Definitely somewhere that someone of any age can enjoy! The tables were nicely set, and the cups, plates, and utensils were colourful and fun.
I had decided on the strawberry tea, which I really enjoyed. It was the perfect amount of flavour, which came as loose leaf tea. Once my tea was steeped, I was then ready to try the food items. All of the tea sandwiches were divine; tasty and fresh. The sandwiches consisted of egg salad, cucumber with cream cheese, turkey, and smoked salmon. Once I had finished the tea sandwiches, I then delved into the scones, which included plain and raisin. I loved how much clotted cream and jam was given for the scones; perfect amount!
Once the scones were devoured, I then settled on the desserts, which were abundant! There was a delicious cheesecake, macaroons, cupcakes (vanilla and chocolate), shortbread cookies, and a sweet punch drink which came in small glasses. I really admired the desserts, as there was a good variety, and they all tasted delicious. By the time I got to the desserts, I was beyond stuffed but, I was able to take some of the items that I didn't finish home, and try them later on. The children also loved their items, which consisted of all of the same items that the adults had, minus a few desserts/scones.
The service was also top-notch, as we were given great service throughout our entire stay. I really enjoyed our time, as we were treated like royalty. Will definitely be back; this tea room was truly a unique experience, which I'm happy to say met all of my expectations when it comes to an authentic tea experience. read more
