    Food ok, nothing fantastic. Tea was bagged and not loose leaf. Very friendly upon arrival - but unfortunately it went downhill fast after ordering and getting staff attention was hard. Disgusting service when trying to pay. Party of 6, one waitress part way through took the card machine from our table to arrive someone else, we questioned this and was given a very rude response in a snappy tone, rather than an explanation. Wouldn’t expect that service anywhere, let alone in a higher end establishment. An advertised £55 afternoon tea was £67 per person & aside from the view - fairly average
