    Wonderful experience at Alluvial for my birthday High Tea... I thoroughly enjoyed my vegetarian options: the egg and truffle pinwheels were delicious and the tarts were exceptional with perfect pastry. The Scones were a little dry (for my liking) but the accompanying preserve and lemon myrtle double cream more than made up for this. The sweet treats were also delicious, my favourite was the chocolate tart (again the pastry) with raspberry and Davidson plum. The tea choice was excellent with classics like English Breakfast and French Earl Grey included alongside a new favourite - Pink Flamingo tea! Alongside this, the accompanying glass of Champagne and Orange and Cointreau shooter were a welcome addition. Overall, I highly recommend this high tea experience. However, a final shout out to the staff who were attentive without being intrusive. They really helped make my birthday special.

    Food and coffee were very good. Looked like they were short staffed but that didn't effect us much. Coffee aroma was so good. I'd go back again.
