We found this amazing place at the weekend, Aloha, such an incredible evening, started with a cocktail each, we knew the night was going to be a good one, we shared some starters and sharing plates with a bottle of wine. We were so warmly welcomed and the atmosphere and music was perfect. Huge recommendation, thank you for a fab night Lauren, we will be back x

I cannot rave about this place enough. The high tea is perfect and I love that they have vegan options, it just helped include members of my party. The place itself, no words. It’s stunning and so detailed. This is my second time coming and both times I am genuinely blown away by the sheer beauty of the place and attention to detail, it’s magical and so immersive. The ambience is wonderful and the staff are so sweet. I highly recommend this high tea.

Lovely restaurant, lovely food, very friendly and attentive staff. We were a table of 12 including 4 kids and our waitresses looked after us very well. It was a Sunday so between us we tried the roast chicken thighs, roast lamb, roast beef, roast sharing platter and the yorkie wrap. All were really, really tasty - each meat was amazing and the veg was cooked perfectly (not a soggy mess like you sometimes get). The extras on the sharing platter looked really good too. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and is divided into 3 separate rooms so the noise level is not too quiet or too loud. 10/10 highly recommend!

    My wife and I have been coming here for brunch for quite some time now. We did have a little blip, at one point, but we don't let that tarnish our overall experience which has been really great! The food tastes amazing. I highly recommend you try it 👍
