I wanted a tea that wasn’t too twee and was a bit quirky while still keeping that lovely afternoon tea feel, and this was perfect. The Patisserie is lovely inside, the staff are wonderful and attentive and the food itself was absolutely delicious. We had a lovely afternoon at the Fancy Fox and would highly recommend them.

Delicious afternoon tea in a relaxed atmosphere. Sandwiches weren’t finger sandwiches as expected, but were tasty all the same. Scones were delicious. We both took the top layer of cakes home as we were full by the time we got to the top! Polite and friendly staff.
