I would definitely would like to go again and the owner was very friendly as well , and they make parties and organisations for every age so definitely you should consider going there , you wouldnt regret about it !

Been to temptations couple of times now and love the back garden and their ice creams!! The owner is really lovely and the atmosphere if the shop is really nice too! Only been for ice cream and coffee but would love to try some other cooked dishes as well. The sponge cake we bought was ok but other than this it was really lovely! Their white chocolate raspberry ice cream is divine :) Will be back :)

Dessert Lounge with a gluten free menu full of different options! I was so delighted as a coeliac to find a place with so many dessert options, something that you don't find often. I had the chocolate souffle and it was delicious. Will definitely be back to try some more options!

Found this lovely place by chance and what a beautiful place it turned out to be. Lost for choice and finally went for Pistachio cheesecake and it was divine. The setting is neat and clean and decorated with beautiful pastel colours and ample seating. The floor staff were pleasant and polite.

I love an afternoon tea so I try out lots of different places.
Today I went to Temptations for the first time. It definitely won't be the last time.
It was absolutely WOW!! You first have to pick which cheesecake you want from a large range, I eventually chose chocolate orange, my friend has pistachio. Both were ridiculously amazing!
The sandwiches were made fresh while we waited, the sausage roll was warm, the brownie, beautifully moist and the scones were large and light.
I'm trying hard to think of a negative....nope, can't think of a single thing.
You want a really lovely afternoon tea experience, try this place!
