"This has become my ' favorite local ' to meet up with valued friends for tea and a bite to eat, always busy, but the wait to be seated is well worthwhile, cosy charming and comfortable settings take me back in time to a different world, it 's a lovely escape from the everyday mundane tasks, and ideal to stop for a refreshing break during a shopping trip, My very first visit here soon after Small Talk tearooms opened up brings memories of Fentimens pink lemonade!! gorgeous and perfect to quench our thirst after a shopping afternoon with my Daughter.Everything is fresh and appetizing, the recent cheese toasties and omelets we tried were very moreish!staff are efficient and friendly, also polite, which goes a long way in my book, Thank you Small Talk, love this place, highly recommended, will keep coming back!"

We had breakfast here and enjoyed it very much. We have eaten here before and have enjoyed our time there every time. They have lovely decor in the tea room and this makes you feel very comfortable. The service is very good and the staff are very friendly. I have brought afternoon tea for my parents here and they had a lovely time. I will be going back. View menu

I was very disappointed with the afternoon tea at this restaurant. The sandwiches were bland, consisting of egg mayo, cheese and pickle, and salmon fillings. The scones, although they looked nice, were very dry and difficult to swallow without a drink. The jam was served in a jar and the tea was cold. Despite these shortcomings, the tea room was lovely and the staff were nice. It's just a shame about the quality of the tea.

I cannot comment on the food as I did not even make it through the door. I tried calling earlier in the day, but there was no answer. The staff then informed me that they do not answer the phone because they are too busy. I was ignored while waiting for a table, and when I tried to get the staff's attention, I was rudely told that they were busy serving tables and we would have to wait. Unfortunately, I would not hurry back to this restaurant.

I have been to this restaurant before when it was always busy, but today it was quiet. My husband suggested we visit, so we waited to be seated. When a staff member finally came to the door, I asked if they could accommodate my egg and nut allergy. The staff member consulted with someone else, who I assume was in charge, and the response was that it was too difficult. There was no apology or attempt to discuss possible alternatives, like offering a reduced menu or a slice of toast. Feeling humiliated, we decided to leave and go home because I was too upset to try anywhere else.

I 've never been in Small Talk Tearooms before but I have walked past in many a times.Since Lockdown has begun easing in England me my friend decided on lunching here thank goodness we did because it was a delightful experience. The Staff were so welcoming was great to see them looking after themselves with the appropriate PPE that is needed because of COVID-19 these days. They were easy to talk too, friendly so considerate. Special shoutout to the lovely lady who wanted to know more about my latest Rivers of London Novel, we both loved her.The Afternoon Tea was delicious, even though we hadn 't made a reservation the Staff were happy for us to have it since they had the stock available.

"Visit with friends. Arrived and the restaurant was very empty at that time of the evening. Shown to a table that had been allocated to us. Asked if we could move to another and I was initially given the impression that that might be difficult. Just to say again that the tables were allocated rather than reserved. Another customer was making a similar request and after some back and forth we could both move. Not the greatest of starts. This restaurant specialises in Punjabi cuisine. That is what attracted us in the first place when reviewing the menu online before we booked. Starters were of a generous size but rather stodgy. Perhaps more filling for a starter than you might expect particularly if you had ordered a main course and were intending to have a dessert. In contrast my wives dessert was very small for the price charged. The main courses were very spicy even though we requested mild. I appreciate that is a preference on our parts but my wife felt the same. We went with a friend who was visibly sweating. He comment on his main fish course was that under the spice it was a little bland. A lady I took to be the owner asked if we were enjoying our main couse? We commented on how spicy they were and asked for some yoghurt to cool them down. This was supplied with no issues and in fact my wife's prawns (only three found sadly) and my lamb main course were taken back to the kitchen to have I assume some of the chillies taken out or additional yoghurt added. This was done very politely and efficiently. Just to add we have absolutely no issues with regional food differences whether they may be. Perhaps our preference in this instance for less spice takes away from the experience the restaurant seeks to give. However requesting when ordering a mild version, and when asked what we preferred as well, makes the customer right. To drink. A beer for me and our friend. A cranberry juice for my wife which apparently tasted like a squash. Service left something to be desired as well I am afraid. On our initial table three menus supplied. On the second only one and had to ask for two more. Table wiped down after our main courses but only one corner? Had to ask several times for the bill, having asked the lady above who dealt with the spicy food issues. In fact she was eating her evening meal behind us with other customers and jumped up and apologised when she realised she had not let us have our bill. The waitress who we dealt with initially about our table allocation asked at the end of our meal if we had enjoyed it and if we would return. Afraid we said no to both. We had a mutually respectable conversation as to why not and discussed the issues above and others. So a disappointing evening I am afraid. However this is a true reflection of our experience from our perspectives."
