Not a place we would go to on a regular basis but, for a special occasion prior to a show, it is an excellent venue for, in our case High Tea!! We were given the table for as much time as we needed it - there was certainly no pressure to hurry. Toilets close by as well!

Food provided was pleasant but in short supply. A very sparse amount of food provided compared to any other high tea I've had. .

Our meals were delicious. We felt confident that the chefs could cater for guests with severe allergies. The wait staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Plus, we easily made it on time for our show at the Playhouse Theatre.
