We loved this little shop and we stop to celebrate my 60th birthday with a Victorian high tea. Reserved 24 hours in advance. It was worth the drive, but we needed a bigger appetite to finish everything. Regular High Tea may have been easier but I never turn down fruit! If you go make sure to read the fun sides in the bathroom too! Great food and food place to enjoy with multiple generations. Our 17 are old granddaughter loved it too!
