Cheerful and helpful staff. We had a two year old with us, and they were very accommodating. The high tea that was served had a varied and tasty selection of foods. Good mix of sweet and savoury dishes. Surrounding countryside was picturesque despite the rainy weather. Great mother's day location. I'm interested in going back and trying their seasonal menu.

Lovely high tea with so many gluten free options that looked and tasted great. Service was excellent. Tableware was interesting and provided fun talking points. Highly recommend the high tea especially for those with a gluten intolerance.

First day of serving their new venture/menu 'Kalinga Dairy Grazing' and it most certainly didn't disappoint! We opted for the Posh Nosh menu which was absolutely delicious. The service was great, we chatted with owner it was a delightful day and yes I will most certainly be back!

A delightful place for high tea any time of year. With quarterly set menus you get variety to go with the quality. Service is lovely and the setting is beautiful and peaceful. Parking around back is plentiful for the set sitting times. Be sure to reserve in advance. Highly recommend the fruit juice and Panna Cotta dessert.

Had the high tea here for Mothers day and then daughters birthday. The food is so delicious! It's good food, so tasty. Staff are so lovely kind & friendly. There is nothing i could fault. I mentioned when booking it was to celebrate my daughters birthday and Ellen (the great cook there) came out with a beautiful cupcake for her and birthday candle. So sweet. Ellen is such a good cook and she is delightful! The place is decorated so nicely. It's quiet clean and comfortable! Real country feel and care!

My daughter took me here for high tea for my birthday. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We had a great experience. The food was beautiful, cooked with love. The staff was super friendly. The decore was so cute I had the best day with my daughter. I was given a surprise cupcake with a candle with our dessert course. Such a beautiful special touch.

Gorgeous little venue in Duckenfield with divine high teas and quirky hand-made gifts. I could not fault the service from phoning to book, to service on the day. Friendly, helpful, and will cater to dietary needs.
