Having just moved to the area I shared a wonderful Gluten free afternoon tea outside in the beautiful sunshine with my daughter recently. As we are both Coeliacs it is rare to enjoy such lovely treats safely especially right on my doorstep. The food was all very fresh and delicious and neither of us could fault it. There were more than enough options for cakes and sandwiches and we took some away as was full! I am always very impressed with the service and note they always stop the kitchen to prepare food safely. I would highly recommend and look forward to trying more special events there and plenty more Sunday breakfasts! Many thanks guys Sarah and Rachael
