Cock & Hoop

So impressed with this place. Visited for afternoon tea yesterday afternoon, a Saturday in February 2023. After a really dreadful afternoon tea experience with the same friend at a completely unrelated place in the midlands in December, we really didn't know how this one would go . . . but the whole experience was wonderful. The welcome was efficient and incredibly friendly. The staff knew exactly what we had ordered - a gluten free tea, and a vegetarian tea. When the tea was delivered the amazing waiter went to great lengths to pass on a message from the chef to my gluten free friend that it had all been prepared separately for her, the tray wiped clean etc - which was a truly lovely, and reassuring touch, very professional. The lunch was tasty, with a good selection of sweet treats. The prosecco was light and pleasant. We were checked on so many times, to make sure we didn't want - or need - anything else. It was perfect. The atmosphere was that of a friendly local, clean and comfortable. Thank you for a lovely experience. Oh yes, and the prices were very favourable too.
