Went for an afternoon tea with prosecco that was gifted to me via Groupon. The café is very lovely, great atmosphere and staff is amazing. Super accomodating and kind. The afternoon tea sandwiches were fresh and tasted delicious, huge selection of cakes and the scones were the highlight of the tray! Absolutely recommended!

Good value afternoon tea, homemade scones, decent sandwiches, tea and cakes. Chef came out to check what I can eat (I'm vegetarian). Sandwiches were all cheese based, was expecting at least one of the sandwiches with eggs but still OK. They also have plant based milk, just ask. Great value for the price, got a Groupon voucher for afternoon tea for two. Other customers are those who are staying at the hotel. Menu is OK, there's a small bar, list of cocktails looks interesting. Parking is limited. Best to park at Hinksey park (pay and display) and walk over. There's a disable parking bay on street.
