so at four yesterday afternoon myself and my friend louise entered the shop. it is hard to know where to look first, the decor and furnishings are beautiful - all very shabby chic - but then there is the cakes on display which quickly steal your attention.
we seated ourselves in the middle so we could get a good view of the shop! our drinks order was taken, i had a refreshing pomegranate and raspberry drink whilst louise decided to be daring and order a more exotic tea (which perhaps turned out to be a mistake as it was smoked and so rather pungent! you live and learn!)
the beautifully served tea!
after this was the tricky business of choosing which cake to have! there was probably about ten different treats on display and we were certainly spoilt for choice! perhaps the only note to be made was that it would have been helpful if the cakes were labelled. but in the end we went for a slice of lemon cake and a victoria sponge and shared them.
the cake is served on gorgeous china and with proper cake forks!
the cake was really scrummy. the victoria sponge was moist with a lovely jam and buttercream filling. the lemon cake wasn't quite lemony enough for me - but i like mine quite strong! but louise certainly enjoyed it...
smiles all round!
all in all this is a fantastic addition to farnham! we already have two more visits planned - one for afternoon tea (a must!) and another to see what happens during 'victorian week' (only in farnham!) i would highly recommend a visit to anyone - it cost us £5 each for a drink and slice of cake which seemed very reasonable to me! so pop in if you have the chance!
