I booked an afternoon tea for my Aunts 90th Birthday and we couldn't have had a better experience. The quality of the food and beverages was perfect, with a lovely and varied choice of cakes and deep filled sandwiches. The staff were all really friendly and welcoming, and the servic e from our waitress was excellent, very attentative, and friendly. To top this off, the afternoon tea is set in beautifully decorated and very comfortable drawing room. It's definitely the best venue for afternoon tea in Chelmsford and probably Essex.
