We came for the Romeo and Juliette afternoon tea and had a lovely experience. The staff is super nice, smiling, knows about their menu items, they really elevated the experience. The afternoon tea was generous, the theme was very nice and the food tasted amazing. My friend got the vegan one and did not feel like she was missing out as the food was very similar. We also got a complimentary refill of the sandwich tray which was very appreciated. I will definitely be back for the next theme!

This was a tea experience that I couldn't have dreamed of. It was amazing. Our table was perfect and the service was stupendous. The food was delicious. We had a Romeo and Juliet inspired tea service and it lived up to its name!

An amazing afternoon tea experience with a Romeo and Juliet-style twist! My partner and I enjoyed the classic tea option, especially the salmon sandwiches and scones. Extra complimentary sandwiches were available upon request. All the staff were incredibly kind and attentive, even providing a surprise birthday treat after the tea for my partner. The food looks small but is deceptively filling - we were stuffed by the end. Highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing afternoon Tea. A trip into London for my wife’s belated 60th birthday. Great service from the professional staff, overseen by an extremely knowledgeable Manager. As you can see from our photos the layout of the facilities and our table over looking the river Thames was great. The presentation, taste and flavours of our afternoon tea with all the extras was sublime. We wanted to stay and finish the whole lot, but, in the end did the sensible thing and got a pack-up to go. Thank you so much guys and keep up the great work. 🤩🌟💙❤️

We went to this pub before heading to the Globe theater —just for a gin tonic and a quick meal. It's really charming and very well-kept. The staff, especially the waitress who served us, was extremely friendly and kind. I definitely recommend this place because they have a great selection of cocktails and dishes, ranging from simple and quick bites to more substantial options. It's an excellent spot, and I would definitely like to return. Highly recommended!
