1. It was birthday treat and very impressive indeed. The Afternoon Tea is fabulously presented and perfectly served. The sweet treats and cakes are excellent. The Scones with Jam and Clotted cream are marvellous. The Sandwiches are nice too with interesting twists as in addition of Sausage roll and savoury pastry. The Pate with Pepper Salsa is unique and tasted lovely. The selection of Teas are wonderful and they are available to buy from the store. The staff are attentive, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is cosy with views of Nottingham Theatre Royal.

2. Absolutely shocking breakfast.
   Visited Nottingham for two nights and before leaving to come home wanted a good breakfast. Found this place that looked ok .
   Ordered flat white and a cappachino. Both came out so hot they were not drinkable (poor training) milk is not supposed to be that hot for these drinks.
   The worst though were the breakfast.
   I had Eggs Royal at £14.50
   The muffins were not even toasted so were soggy and unbelievably they used cooked salmon, NOT smoked salmon. In all my years I’ve never had that before. It was awful. Hollandaise sauce was ok.
   My wife had a vegetarian breakfast.
   Was ok apart from they thought it would be ok to serve a type of spicy indian style spinach burger or whatever they called it. It was also vile and very spicy, not at all suitable for a breakfast.
   Service was fine, however on mentioning to young girls that the eggs royal was not good and why, I was still charged £14.50.
   This place is def style over substance and on leaving noticed Copper (cafe) across the road which I’ve eaten in before and is great and only £10.50 for eggs royal. Just wish I’d seen it earlier. 100% wouldn’t return especially as the bill for an orange juice, 2 coffees and 2 breakfast was £43!!
   Def go across the road to Copper if looking for a decent well priced and tasty breakfast.

   Response to Josephine’s Response…
   I would just like to add that I didn’t at any point ask for a discount, I just explained the situation about the salmon, and secondly, you can even see in the pictures that it’s salmon! Not smoked salmon… it’s the wrong colour for smoked salmon and totally pink… so saying it’s not salmon is completely wrong.
   You’re right about the personal preference thing, I can understand that, but curried spinach and falafel burgers don’t belong on a breakfast IMHO. Coffee temperatures are something that trained in ANY decent coffee shop including chains and independents so just saying people like it hot shows you don’t have a clue what the best temperatures are for the coffees you serve… again that’s not personal preference but industry standard.

   Thanks for taking the time to replay though

3. If ever back in Nottingham will definitely go again, the food was lovely, as we’re the staff and atmosphere. The little touches for our anniversary just made it perfect.

4. First time here, took my Mrs for her birthday the staff organised a nice welcome and great service. Beautiful decor and ambiance.

5. Friendly staff, very accommodating from booking to throughout the afternoon tea. Clean and well looked after throughout.
   We had the petit afternoon tea, which was more than enough each. We were stuffed after. The mini and scones were lovely. It would have been nice if a refill of tea was given, a top up of boiling water isn’t a huge request. Not a massive issue at all though. The food, the staff and the presentation of the food made up for it. Gorgeous patisserie plate with little chocolate petals and fruit.
   Don’t read the whingey reviews further down.
   overall a lovely experience and I would recommend.
