    Second afternoon tea and it didn’t disappoint. The Fancy Fox is a real gem and has it all. It’s not the cheapest but I think good value for money given the quality food, quality service and surroundings. The whole package. Would most definitely recommend and will be going back 😀

    Delicious afternoon tea in a relaxed atmosphere. Sandwiches weren’t finger sandwiches as expected, but were tasty all the same. Scones were delicious. We both took the top layer of cakes home as we were full by the time we got to the top! Polite and friendly staff.

    The venue is beautiful and a calm setting with great views. The food was on the whole was ample and a good selection. The sandwiches were a little dry on both sides and although there was a great selection of cakes, there were three of us and sometimes only 1 or 2 of the mini cakes on offer. Everything else had three eg three sandwiches, three scones Every all it was a great experience and value for money.
