Afternoon Tea at The Fancy Fox is lovely. The ladies really look after you and nothing is too much trouble. The food is really nice, with the scones and sausage rolls being our fave! Thanks, ladies, for a lovely afternoon - we'll be back! xx

What an amazing find The Fancy Fox is. Beautiful decor, great, relaxed atmosphere and attentive staff. We celebrated my parents 60th wedding anniversary with a beautiful afternoon tea for 5. My dairy free daughter was happily catered for and we were all so comfortable being there, from the ages of 15-87! The food was delicious and selection of tea’s extensive. Thank you so much. We will be back and would thoroughly recommend.

Delicious afternoon tea, very tasty. Lovely decor at this venue, and everything was clean and well executed. Our waitress was extremely attentive and friendly without being overbearing, and the other lady who was there at the time was also very friendly and helpful. It had a quiet and calm feel to the venue, but then there were only a couple of other tables in while we were there, and we had all been spread out nicely from each other.

The afternoon tea at The Fancy Fox was absolutely delicious! The scones and Victoria sponge would rival Grosvenor House Hotel offerings and the White Chocolate Pistachio and Coconut ball was mouth-wateringly good. Nice decor and friendly staff. We will definitely return

Second afternoon tea and it didn’t disappoint. The Fancy Fox is a real gem and has it all. It’s not the cheapest but I think good value for money given the quality food, quality service and surroundings. The whole package. Would most definitely recommend and will be going back 😀

All the items in the afternoon Tea were freshly prepared and very tasty, and the choice of teas was lengthy and plentiful. The service very good but not intrusive at all and the table layout in the bakery was very spacious allowing for a rekaxing ambience. All in all a lovely birthday treat and well worth more visits in the future, celebration or no.
