• Vegan afternoon tea!

Though they offer non-vegetarian dishes, this place offers only one afternoon tea - a vegan one - so you know it has to be good! At £21 I thought it was comparable to other hotel afternoon teas. The finger sandwiches were delightful, the scones and coconut cream were heavenly, and i was so happy to see them served with fresh strawberries rather than jam (though jam was available if you wanted it). The cakes were sooooo good, especially the chocolate fudge one. They have a nice selection of teas, and they offer you as much as you like - no need to stick to just one tea - try them all! Or coffee, if you prefer. They had soya, rice, and almond mylk available when we were there. I read elsewhere that one vegan customer was, oddly, brought dairy milk, so it might be worthwhile to specify what you want. The staff were kind and professional and the atmosphere was nice and relaxing. I was initially sort of disappointed that it wasn't served on a three-tier tray, but actually having each 'course' brought separately made me slow down and savour what was in front of me, so i decided that I rather liked it. I'll definitely go there again (and again!).
