Amazing place, so pretty! Def one for them Instagram photos. Food was nice and the staff were amazing! Our girls loved it. Will 100% recommend and will 100% be back!
Been here in numerous occasions for afternoon Tea & we have done the staycation. Lisa and her team are amazing, cannot do enough for you. Food is excellent, all freshly made, sausage rolls are to die for (if you know you know!!!). Acts are top quality, Lisa & Paul spend a lot of time researching for these. If you’ve never been I strongly suggest you try this little family tearooms as they are amazing. The Alpacas add to the experience.
My friend and I attended Lise Lou’s a few weeks ago for an “afternoon tea” To be honest we didn’t drink much tea, we sort of got carried away with the atmosphere and decided to enjoy a few bevvys. It was amazing from start to finish. From the sandwiches to the beautiful hand made cakes to the best sausage rolls I’d ever tasted. The entertainment was fab and so inclusive (Cathy and Paul) they managed to sing every request beautifully. I think my highest praise has to be for the staff, it was sweltering that day and they didn’t stop working, or smiling or giving 100 percent to every customer. From the first 10 minutes of being seated both my friend and I said “we’ll be back” And we absolutely will. Thank you all for a wonderful afternoon.
1st time visiting last weekend. Absolutely amazing time. Food fantastic. Staff couldn't do enough for you. Value for money at £40 for a whole afternoon entertainment and food. Definitely be going again.
