    Food was good but sandwiches weren’t of good quality and not true high tea size (they were cut into 4 and not good quality bread or filling) Scones were so huge that we took them home, biggest is not the best Otherwise we enjoyed it all

    We had a wonderful experience at Van Loons for a High Tea today. We were greeted by Tristan who provided outstanding service during our time there. A drinks menu was provided which had a great range to select from Fantastic food, beautifully presented. There was so much food that we asked for a take home container which was generously provided. A truly lovely nursery and gift shop with extensive range of items. We will certainly be back when next down on the Bellerine Peninsula. Very highly recommended

    Van Loons is always an excellent dining experience. Being able to take the dog and having blankets in the gazebo makes them a wonderful choice for dog lovers. The food and service are great and there are always good choices. The coffee is good and they have lactose free milk, love that. I don’t love soy etc. The atmosphere is great and the garden surrounds just peaceful. The he service was amazing particularly given how busy they were on a public holiday. Top notch.

    Great early spring experience over bubbly and a Devonshire Tea, and laughing blooms all around you. Great waitress with a very caring attitude. Much appreciated.
