Excellent afternoon tea, freshly prepared, taste preferences adhered to as per booking request. Food was delicious, we couldn't finish all top tier cakes, requested a takehome box at end. Staff checked we were happy with our selections, they made sure plenty of tea available throughout the sitting. All staff very friendly professional, made a nice birthday treat for friend. Restaurant very very quiet, but we actually liked it, meant we could hear each other & have a good catch up chat. Enjoyable couple of hours.

Had the crispy beef and trio of prawn starters. Had tastier king prawns but the crispy beef is something special! Rib eye steak and short beef rib for mains. Steak was perfect but the short beef rib…oh my days! Soooo good! The gravy/sauce that it comes with was amazing and the beef just fell apart and there was plenty of it! Wild mushrooms as a side were excellent! Quiet evening as we went early! Never had a bad dining experience here. 🧡

• Afternoon Tea • Southend-On-Sea

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.
