One person left this review on Tripadvisor: "We went for afternoon tea at the coffee pot yesterday and it was excellent, get so many choices of what you'd like on it. Refills on drinks too which was great as I like my coffee hot so normally drank it too quickly before getting half way through food.

"The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it especially if you are fussy and like a choice of sandwiches /cakes etc. Then it would be perfect for you"
