Came here yesterday for Afternoon Tea and we were blown away. The service, the atmosphere, the decor and especially the Afternoon Tea itself were all amazing!\\n\\nI have been following Food By Sean for a good while on social media now and as soon as I saw the Autumnal Afternoon Tea advertised I knew I had to book to try out their gorgeous treats\\n\\nThe famous scotch egg definitely lived up to its hype, the best we've ever tasted! The chocolate layer cake was also to die for\\n\\nThank you for a wonderful afternoon, we will definitely be returning very soon

This was a truly lovely experience. Tea in a proper pewter teapot and lovely cups and saucers. Service was excellent by charming young lady. Would recommend this place to anyone. A blast from the eloquent past.

Visited with friend for lunch. Very compact area.Highly decorated, gold being the theme.Server quick to come to table to take drinks order & the returned & took our food order..waited over 1/2 hour to be informed they didn't have my order do reordered & wanted another 15 mins.By this time my friends coffee cup was empty so she did get free refill.The food itself was freshly prepared and tasty.

Was very disapointed with afternoon tea at the 600*My dietry requirements that were requested over the phone was not adhered to. Requested no cheese or tomato to be served cheese sandwich was served, with other cheese dish,my friend commented cheese on his opinion was not very nice in the sandwich*service was bad requested hot water as tea was to strong for me. Hot water not served* never been there before on entering was offered a table straight away in the center of the cafe only table free. On sitting noticed another room would have preferred to have been offered a table in the other room bit more privacy* chairs were comfortable.*not worth the payment that was asked.* have looked at their Web sight the tea we were served had no comparison to the photo on their Web sight.* it was not the first afternoon tea I have had and have returned to those place's again and again sorry to say will not be revisiting the 600.

Good food, pleasant surroundings and friendly Staff.Not disabled/mobility challenged friendly?toilets outside and down many very steep steps.Very difficult to book a table as they never answered the phone - always goes on to answerphone and don?t tend to get back to you for days!!Sad really as it?s quite an enjoyable experience once you?re there.

Lovely little cafe with a nice selection of breakfast foods and sandwiches. They offer afternoon tea which was priced around £20pp.A great array of coffees and teas along with milkshakes and soft drinks.It can get quite busy early morning and around school drop off/pick up so booking is recommended.

I've visited this beautful place on a few occasions and never been disappointed. Coffee is always on point and the staff are always friendly and welcoming.Mothers day this year i decided to treat my mum and grandmother to a takeaway afternoon tea and OMG what we received was utterly phenomenal!! 5 of us actually had snacks from it and the food was 5*.Thank you to Donna, Sharon and all the team. I can't wait to be able to come and sit in again soon.

2 stars is generous. This gift shop come restaurant is very popular with women.The seats are uncomfortable. The sofas we sat on had little life left in the springs and although there was a sofa either side of a coffee table, we had to sit on the same sofa, as there was so much girly chitchat about the prosecco and who was going to eat the last scone, that we couldn't hear each other speak in the echoey back room.We arrived at 3pm on a Saturday and there were hardly any cakes left, only some Halloween kids cupcakes.The only other option I could see was a menu on the coffee table which seemed like an overpriced English version of tapas (fish finger sandwich for £6). The waitress didn't go through any options of what was available or how much things were. It was straight into "What would you like?"Opposite where we sat was a tired display of artificial flowers on one side, and on the other, a large Christmas tree with decorations for sale, but it would have been too intrusive to the people sat right next to it to start looking at the items for sale.We ordered a cappuccino and a flat white with a cake each. The cakes arrived way before the coffees, which tasted like they were out of a vending machine. We decided not to bother staying for another coffee.We decided to have a look in the gift shop area...if you have any accessibility issues forget it! To get upstairs to the gift shop, we had to climb up the narrow, steep steps. The choice of "gifts" was somewhat lacking. I was hoping to see lots of locally made items. On one rack most of the shelves were empty. On the clothes rail there were about 5 items of clothing, all different - one of each. I could go on.This place can't decide if it's an upmarket restaurant, a café or a gift shop. From outside it looks like a café seen as they've got a big coffee cup outside, but that definitely isn't their strength.If you're a lady who likes to socialise with friends over a selection of tiny cakes served in a bird cage and a glass of pink prosecco, this is the place for you! ??Edited 7.11.19 Thank you no.600 for your reply. I suppose some of my descriptions were harsh, but I still didn't like your venue. Sorry. Also, yes I've done a lot of reviews, which I enjoy doing in my spare time, which thousands of people have viewed.PS I have a disability, which is why I commented on the steep stairs and uncomfortable seating.

Had a lovely visit here today. It was the first time I've been and I'll definitely be back. The restaurant area is really warm and inviting and decor is really tasteful. Lots of quirky bits and pieces here there and everywhere. The welcome from staff was excellent and great choice of coffee and cakes. Very impressed.
