    We really enjoyed our afternoon tea experience at the Potting Shed. The restaurant is hidden away in the basement of the hotel so it has a cosy and intimate feel whilst still feeling bright and airy.
    The assortment of sandwiches and cakes was delicious. We were given additional sandwiches when asked for - all included in the price. My 7 year old son had his very own tea selection which was super - he had his own cupcake to decorate!
    A thoroughly pleasant experience, the occasion was to celebrate an 80th birthday - it felt very special.

    Booked The Potting Shed for afternoon tea. The restaurant was charming and the china that the tea was served on was lovely. We all thoroughly enjoyed the sandwiches, the scones were solid and came with ample cream and jam. We all enjoyed the cake selection, variety and texture were lovely.

    Excellent decor, atmosphere, service, tea and cakes. Although the sandwiches weren’t particularly fresh, unfortunately! Still a very good experience overall!

    The afternoon tea with two kids was great

    Sadly the bar area was taken over by large businessmen celebrating Christmas, braying loudly and swinging their large bags over our heads whilst they tried to find the toilet, stumbling with alcohol. I do think that if there is a private function, that it is kept in an area which doesn't disturb diners. However the staff were so charming as they tried to find a solution; the food was delicious and once the party left, we wallowed in the luxury of Kit Kemp's gorgeous restaurant.
