Attended for a booked afternoon tea in the secret garden. Food was fantastic, loved the little sausage roll and savoury alongside fresh finger sandwiches. Cheery scone was light, warm and delicious. And the cakes were of a good choice and tasted delicious and fresh. Choice of tea, coffee and herbal teas. Loved the live singer and a nice atmosphere and surroundings. 100% would return again.
