“ Wow! We had the pleasure of attending my friends Baby Shower in a beautiful room at The Dining Room yesterday, the table and room was set out so beautifully, we added a few decorations too, the afternoon tea food was out of this world, and my Vegan food was so delicious! The room did get a little bit stuffy, as the windows can’t be opened due to past security issues, so having the door keep opening was refreshing. All of the staff were so accommodating and friendly and helpful, all of my friends had a great time. Thank you. ”

Service was incredibly friendly, food tasty, we heard toasted cheese scone with Rene McIntosh style cheese slices and jam and butter, I had coronation chicken sandwich on brown bread with chips, salad and coleslaw on the side.
