Best Gift ever!

“We visited Pembroke Castle pub in Primrose Hill for afternoon tea on Sunday, and it was simply outstanding. The pub looked beautiful, fully decorated for Christmas, and our reserved table made it feel extra special. We were upgraded to the Festive Afternoon Tea, which went far beyond expectations. A huge two tier stand arrived, packed with savoury treats — open turkey and chicken breast sandwiches, turkey, brie and cranberry, pigs in blankets, and enormous sausage rolls. On top of all that, they then brought out 2 plates of sweets which was just as impressive, with rich chocolate torte, brownies, and giant scones served with jam and cream. To top it off, we enjoyed two glasses of perfectly chilled prosecco each. The amount of food for two was unbelievable, and every bite was excellent. Special mention to Anita, who looked after us royally and made the whole experience even better. It was the best afternoon tea we’ve ever had, and I can’t recommend it enough. Already looking forward to returning next year to try the summer version!”
