The Royal Tea Room & Restaurant
I attended a tea with my tea club recently. We were not offered a choice of tea at our table (perhaps the club selected it earlier?) but the Peach Tea that was served had a lovely, delicate taste and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The setting, in a former rectory, resembled the dining room of an elegant home. We were a large group, but I did not feel crowded. The food was offered in four courses, each presented in a lovely way: hot scones, soup and salad, selection of hot hors d'ouevres, and a final three-tiered sandwich and dessert selection. The selections were remarkably extensive, and everyone enjoyed the variety of tastes. I must agree with some of the other comments that the servers were overwhelmed at times, though unfailingly pleasant, and refills to our teapot were slow in coming. All together, this is a lovely place to share tea in a small or large group, and there is a bonus 'shopping' area in the three bedrooms upstairs. You will enjoy!
