I enjoyed my pot of tea, gorgeous cup and saucer. The sausage roll was nice, needed sauce but I couldn't get the attention of the staff

Made a quick stop here for a coffee and donut on a Saturday morning. The staff were very friendly, we sat out the back and enjoyed some quiet from the hustle and bustle of the street. The donut had a pistachio filing which was very smooth/tasty. I’d definitely come back for a longer stop another day.
