I would have given this tea shop 5 stars but for the fact that the staff were very eager for us to leave. We arrived at 4.30 pm and were immediately told they closed at 5. That's fine we said we only want tea and cake. Our order was brought promptly and as described was lovely to look at and eat/drink. However the second we had finished eating our cakes the plates were whisked away. My husband finished his coffee quite quickly and again his cup and saucer were whisked away almost immediately although I was only just finishing my cup of tea. You can see that I had a whole pot of tea to drink and was really enjoying it.
The pleasure was spoiled by the impression being given that the 3 young ladies serving in the shop just wanted us to leave as soon as possible. Surely closing at 5 should mean they stop serving at 5, not that all customers must be served and finished and out. We felt rush
We may well return because the tea and cakes were delicious but I'm afraid the attitude of the staff did spoil the feel of the afternoon
