Ordered cheese on toast ,my friends had just about finished their toasted tea cakes when mine arrived. It was hardly toasted, the grated cheese was just warm the cheese underneath was cold.I tried the crust trying to make the best of it but took it back said to girl I can’t eat this as it’s not toasted.Poor girl didn’t have a glue and just said I’m sorry about that.No refund offered or something instead. Silly really as a friend had gone the week before and said Don’t have the cheese on toast.How difficult is it to grill cheese on toast?

Have been going here for years but today's visit was dreadful. We visited the tearoom first expecting our usual lovely experience but it was like a ghost town. A girl who said she was only temporary handed us a screwed up piece of paper with a few handwritten items on as the menu. We didn't stay even for a drink but decided to look round the centre so the visit wasn't wasted. There were several empty cabinets and sparse areas and lots of reduced items, it felt like maybe the place was closing down. Not sure if there has been a change of management but it's certainly not for the better.

We arrived en spec without knowing what to expect and we're amazed A very warm welcome and thousands of items to search through

Really impressed, spent hours looking round at all sorts of lovely vintage, antiques and collectibles. Gave me some great ideas for Christmas, will be back. Great coffee and a choice of cake.

I’ve been coming here for a few years. Always enjoyed it. Today, the lady with the shirt white hair (manager? , stocky build, in her late 50’s states to my partner “you don’t look as if you have the means to shop here”, after she had asked for items to be removed to try on from the cabinets next to the front desk, and then returned requesting another piece from elsewhere. She had a few items put behind the desk for payment after we had eaten, as is normal. My partner is mixed race (don’t know if this is relevant . I’m hurt and confused. I’m not used to this sort of behaviour there. I felt obligated to leave a review just in case anyone else has had a similar experience. The food was very good in restaurant, just for balance.
