Compared to other high end teas this fell down on food quality - uninspiring sandwiches, dry scones, limited cake variation etc

Sadly awful service from Carlota on Mother’s Day - mean to my mum and myself. Very disappointing as we’ve had many lovely celebrations and events there in the past. Not again.
