The food quality was not as expected, and service wasn't great. It took over 15 minutes for a server to come to the table after I was seated, then it was another 10 minutes before I received even table water. Larger tables who arrived and ordered after me received their items first, and they refused to bring more hot water for my teapot when I asked. Dessert items were overly sweet, and the sandwiches were dry. The scones were good.

Nice sandwiches, scones and mini cakes. Much as expected. Only one cup of tea/coffee included. It was very warm in the restaurant and we ended up getting additional 1xcoffee, 1xtea and 2xspakling water for a total of £20-something. The best of it all was us skipping the hour long museum entry- que, as the afternoon tea vouchers gave access to a fast track Line. I didnt know tjat - maybe i didnot read the fine print. But that was Great! Maybe on a rainy day the venue is better.
