Note: it’s a shame that they will be closing the door after 28 Jul 2023. Really good breakfast that I’ve absolutely enjoy here. The combination of American pan cake with hash brown and eggs are nice.

Such a wonderful little place to eat! They allow dogs in the back garden section and were quick to bring out a little bowl of water for the pooch. The food was AMAZING. We went for brunch and had the American Breakfast and a chilli Avocado and eggs with hollandaise sauce. Will be coming back another time for the cakes as they looked amazing too! Super friendly and would 100% recommend 💗 thank you!

Everything about the Gilt room is perfect! Served by a really conscientious friendly young lady. The food was cooked to perfection (American breakfast and eggs Benedict) and the environment was really welcoming. Would highly recommend

Had an amazing time here firstly for an afternoon tea for my hen party - all of the sandwiches and cakes were delicious and home made and Rosie and her team were very attentive. We then had a family Sunday lunch after the wedding and the food and service were fantastic. You won’t be disappointed to book a special occasion here they really do go the extra mile to make their customers happy. Thank you

We had a lovely themed afternoon tea here today, to celebrate a birthday. We got to enjoy a room to ourselves, which was so lovely and private. The food was incredible, there was so much choice and they catered for everyone's needs. They were very attentive with offering drinks etc. And had a good balance of providing a great service, but also leaving us to enjoy our afternoon. Fantastic afternoon had by all of us, thanks guys

We went for brunch and didn't need to eat again 'til the evening. Very indulgent scotch pancake stacks. Cakes looked excellent too but sadly didn't have room left to check.
