The initial customer review said: “We waited 45 minutes for food, which wouldn’t feed a mouse, the portions were not acceptable. We had to go to Greggs after to fill us up.

“The food was ridiculous to be classed as an afternoon tea.”

The restaurant's response in full read: “The price reflects the afternoon tea served for the Wowcher offer. We are very generous with the quality as our products are not cheap.

“The portion is perfect for two, I am sorry to hear this wasn’t shared equally. We do hope, asides to the food, you had a wonderful experience as the rest of your party.

“It takes a lot of hard work to prepare bigger parties at our small venue, it’s disappointing you did not enjoy this time around, but assure you, our all day menu is suitable for all and would welcome you anytime for dinner with us.”

The restaurant has a score of 4.0 on Tripadvisor with many other positive reviews.

This comes after a travel journalist revealed the reviews you should ignore on Tripadvisor.
