Ate in the pub and had a most delicious Avocado Toast. Bellini topped off the experience! Service was average and the initial greeting less than friendly. Room for improvement in that regard!

Such a beautiful building, absolutely stunning. Came here for an afternoon tea service and it was delicious. A lot of good options of tea, the food was delicious and plentiful, and the service was prompt and pleasant. Would absolutely come back here again
