"So we were on holiday and decided to eat out. This was first place we seen. We got seated and started looking through menu. Unfortunately the vinegar bottle caught my eye due to a number of flies floating around the top great for scaring the kids with though. We asked for this to be replaced for which we also got an apology from the polite waitress. Tables felt sticky (so kept elbows off), paper towel holding cutlery was also sticking to table. At this point we did think about leaving but decided to give it a go as it had received good reviews previously and we had ordered some drinks. I moved my foot and felt water splashing everywhere so I look down and low and behold a dog bowl full of water was on the floor just what I’d expect. Looking up towards the bar area a dog could clearly be seen in kitchen area which was visible from our table. Unfortunately I am not one of the contingent who feel dogs should share the same rights privileges and hygiene practices as humans within a food serving kitchen. So anyway ordered Nachos for the kids. About 20 minutes later could see a member of staff come back from coop with a bag of Doritos ! Surely a coincidence ? We also ordered pizza for the kids. Low and behold, half an hour later seen a member of staff come back from coop with a pizza! Had to wait an hour for the food to be served which was ridiculous food didn’t taste bad but wasn’t particularly pleasant considering chips were pretty much all undercooked (I noticed this also in another review), and batter on fish was undercooked. All in all, 62 pounds in total which wasn’t worth the money. Food wasn’t terrible but not great, terrible hygiene with flies in the vinegar, and the dog issues. Going out to coop and buying the food we were ordering was also really poor. Won’t be going back. Cobwebs however would probably be an accurate description of the business."

"It was a wet, miserable Saturday afternoon when we visited to have dinner with family. It had been recommended so our expectations were high and we were not disappointed. The large and varied menu offered enough choice to suit a wide range of palates. The portions too were very generous. You won 't leave here hungry! 'Homemade ' is a phrase that features a lot in this menu and here it reflects in the well cooked tasty fare that appears on the plate. A companion had the Yorkshire pudding starter, the size of a plate, which came with lashings of gravy. It looked so good I ordered a small one as a side for my own main meal. I had potato skins as a starter topped with bacon and cheese. More like a full small baked potato that skins. But good none the less. I was a little wary but tried the deep fried battered black pudding one of our party ordered and surprising this was very good. Our other two companions had been here before and sensibly saved themselves for the main courses. Two of us had Suet lamb pudding. A large portions packed with tasty chunks of lamb. You had the choice of chips or mash with these. I chose the chips (homemade and scrumptious). We asked for extra gravy and it came in little jugs. The whole was served with a range of vegetables that were well cooked and presented. Two of our other companions had the strips of beef in a peppercorn sauce. The meat was declared to be soft and tasty. The sauce has a little more to it that the average peppercorn sauce that comes as a side with a steak which was a positive addition to this dish. You get a choice of carbs too one chose rice the other half and half (Rice and Chips) The other party member had a Yorkshire Pudding wrap. There 's a choice of roast meats to wrap the pudding around our diner chose beef. Again these come with a choice of sides. They both looked and were pronounced very good. Three of us went for a crème Brule for dessert, one for ice cream and the other stated they were too full. the ice-cream was pretty average and I think the Crème Brule although tasty would have been better served in a smaller deeper dish. The only issue I would have is the £2 charge for a small bread roll and butter. We didn 't have any but if it stands up to the quality of the rest of the food served, who knows maybe they are value for money. I would definitely recommend for a wholesome, unpretentious family meal out."

"Delightful Dotties! I went to this amazing Tea House in Carshalton today at 3:30. I think this Tea House is an up and coming one, it was absolutely lovely and so much better than I imagined. The staff were absolutely brilliant, the customer service was definitely a cut above. The waitress noticing we were struggling with making a decision started to help us narrow down our options by asking questions like hot or cold and when we got near a choice she made a recommendation. She was so friendly and clearly enjoyed working where she was as did the other genuinely smiley staff. The food was great. We had scones, tea (a special herbal blend), a cappuccino and a lemon drizzle cake. The cake and scones were light, fluffy and full of flavour. My tea was bursting with flavour. Presentation of our food wasn't novel, there are many vintage tea shops presenting baked goods on china. However, we did see presentation of other food, such as their avocado on toast which weirdly had a really playful vibe to it. The overall feel of the place was a 10/10 for me, it was well styled and there was a huge attention to detail evident. Love has been poured into the place from the well chose decor to the fab vintage vibe playlist you just cant help sing along to. The staff have obviously been chosen for their ability to add to the vibe of the place, all seemingly playful, smiley, energetic and knowledgeable about the food. I utterly loved it! Special thanks to our smiley waitress today and hats off to your customer service skills."
