Attended for afternoon tea. Priory such a beautiful setting. The staff were friendly and helpful, the sandwiches and cakes were delicious. The stars were an Eton mess choux pastry and the light fluffy scones. Good selection of tea and plentiful. Also coffees and other drinks available.

We've attended Roca on a few occasions and always had a good time. The service is attentive but not intrusive and the staff are helpful with details of the menu. The food is well presented and tasty with a good range of options. We usually sit inside but there is seating outside under cover. Recommended
