Customer Review:

The food was lovely. There was plenty of fresh sandwiches with a variety of fillings, along with cakes and delicious scones with jam and cream, plus lots of tea to wash it down! A glass of bubbly came with the package too. It was a treat for my mum but I enjoyed it every bit as much as she did!
