Wonderful experience
I took a friend. We are both coeliac and we were catered for with no problems. I would have liked another pot of tea offered to us but that's trivial. We both really enjoyed the lovely surroundings. The staff were very helpful and efficient .

Fantastic food
Fantastic food, especially the Japanese savoury pancakes with Japanese mayo. The sushi was outstanding. The hosts were also very accommodating. When I informed them that I was a vegetarian (no meat or fish), an incredible selection was created for me to enjoy with many clever substitutions, (my partner is not vegetarian and had the Japanese afternoon tea as is). Furthermore, my email request to be sat near the Teppanyaki counter was granted as we were sat directly in front of it. Very good experience.

very nice to receive
Had a lovely afternoon tea. Fresh sandwiches. Yummy scones and fantastic cakes . Too many to finish so we (wife and me ) took some, along with my special birthday slice, home with us in a box . Very impressive first class hotel. Attentive waiter.

Happy happy happy. Very helpful. Disappointed that you don't do single shooters for health and safety and insurance, but there would be staff present, it's not like you would be left alone with a rifle and live ammunition?

Fun Sunday Afternoon
It was a great way to spend the afternoon - educational as well as creative. And just a lot of fun with plenty of flavours to test, skills to learn, and treats to eat. Next step could be a Masterclass ??
