We visited for afternoon tea. The Great Room is amazing inside, such a beautiful setting. The service was exemplary, all the staff super friendly and attentive. The tea itself was lovely, great scones and nice sandwiches. The assortment of sweet treats was huge!

Came here for lunch; the 3 course menu is an incredible value. I never dreamed I could eat so well in such a beautiful setting for what we paid. The service is on point too; our waiter Dovy was very charismatic and gave excellent advice helping us pick a wine.

Had breakfast here as part of my stay at The Merchant. The vegan breakfast options were very good. I chose the mushroom bruschetta and it was amazing! I would definitely recommend it. We chose to come back for lunch and they were again very accommodating with plant-based options. We received a plant-based appetiser which was delicious. I chose the Provenal vegetable tart as my main and it was exquisite. The service at both breakfast and lunch was fantastic, very attentive and couldnt be more accommodating to my dietary needs. Amazing experience and I hope to try the vegan afternoon tea sometime
