ANT Enttäuschend…. Das war nur grad so OK. Für Menschen von feinem Geschmack ist das kein richtiger Ort, vielleicht passend für Überseetouristen. Geschmeckt haben uns Scones, Tee und Champagner, Rest war leider nicht genießbar - z.B. Sandwiches, Auswahl an süßen Pralinés / Häppchen. Ambiente gegen meiner Erwartungen recht einfach. Kein Ort für Familien mit Kindern. Insgesamt war es uns das nicht wert.

Went for afternoon tea and they were wonderful with my gluten allergy. Very clear communication and I had all the same items with only slight modifications. They need advance notice to accommodate but it was all wonderful.

We attended for afternoon tea for my friends birthday. Our waitress was the loveliest girl, she just couldn't of been nicer and obviously very competent. The food was very nice and fresh although the sports theme wasn't really me. Teas and cocktails great too.
