"I got to attend the Columbia restaurant's pirate themed afternoon tea with a large group of friends yesterday, and it was fantastic. Service is great with friendly staff and prompt service. Sandwich selection as part of the afternoon tea was a bit of an elevated standard, with the typical smoked salmon on cream cheese, tomato and cheese, cucumber this time paired with chicken, and a sausage and piccadilly relish. The scones were fresh and absolutely delicious, super buttery and creamy, very delightful. Finally there was a very thorough cake selection presented, as well as smoothies and parfaits. The group unanimously decided the banana bread was the absolute winner, soft and rich and very well balanced. We had so many options to try and most of them were really fresh and scrumptious. I found a few cakes a little too on the sweet side, and the mocha I ordered was also way too sweet to drink for ky taste. Overall, a brilliant afternoon tea with so many items, lovingly presented in little pirate treasure chests. I enjoyed it a lot and would definitely recommend it."
