  • I have been going to this place for their usual high teas, but this time I organised a baby shower high tea. Customer Service is amazing! They made sure that all dietary requirements are met. They even set up a beautiful table for us. The food was good and the Queen Charlotte's cake we ordered was so yummy. Would definitely go back and highly recommend to everyone who wants to do high tea or small catch up.

  • Hands down, the best scones I've had which haven't been baked by my mother. Soft, fresh, pale, not sweet, and not overbaked and brown. Great conserve and cream. Lovely fresh sandwiches, and an excellent jug of Pimms.

  • We had a bridal shower at The Refectory, as a pop up picnic. It was a lovely experience on a beautiful day and Riley the restaurant manager was very helpful and made all things clear with us from start to finish and it all happened smoothly. Everyone was amazed by the set up, perfect place for a perfect weather. Food was also lovely and we enjoyed it. We will do it again and will not forget to mention to set up the umbrella ahead of time as they get so busy during the day but nevertheless all of the staff assisted to the best they could and everyone was happy. 100% recommending to friends.
