Excellent afternoon tea at Findon Manor. Really good selection of sandwiches and cakes, all of which were delicious. Lovely setting in the comfortable lounge area and everything was beautifully served and presented. The staff were friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend.

We went there for Sunday lunch, food was okay, nothing special. We weren't asked how our food was until our plates were being taken, having ordered a pudding when the plate was taken We were immediately asked if we wanted the bill so felt we were being rushed to leave. We were charged more for our drinks and food than the menu stated and with a 10% service charge added (there was no real service) it made the meal expensive for what it was. We won't be going there again I'm afraid as there are much nicer places.

Lovely old place and well kept. The food took a while to come but was of excellent quality. The food was a little pricey and service was somewhat slow.
