Tea shop opened today! Looks beautiful, very comfy armchairs and some sweet and helpful young ladies working in there. A lot of the staff were proper French, so hopefully they'll be able to impart that 'je ne sais quoi' the owners seem to be striving for.


I had a lovely pot of some sort of posh earl grey tea all to my greedy self and am soon to be tucking into my tarte for dessert, which I took away.


Alas, I fear it is soon to be taken over by annoying ED mums, their oversized pushchairs and rowdy kids. Just as well as I am one of those annoying mums.... oooh la lah...

Cafe Nero always burn the coffee which makes for a disgusting drink. I will go in and try it on Saturday. Just think it will probably be full of us forumites but none of us will know who we are. Maybe we should have some secret signal. Like a phrase or a wink?....:))of course if you see a woman in there on saturday winking and talking babble it'll be me! carried off by the police! ha ha

wonder what time you were there davidm - we popped in briefly around 8am en route to another engagement but were very glad we did


The woman who served us was very good and very informative, talking about the soft opening mid-week and they are really keen for people to like the place. There is no "we are who we are take us or leave us" attitude at all


Nice food (snack menu) good drinks list and great selection of teas (and coffee!) -


It's not like a pub where you would feel comfotable just wandering on on your own but I can see myself going there quite a bit


Mark - I sooooo wish I was able to pop in for lunch today. But do report back

    • I have lots of good quality stuffed toys that I'd be happy to go to a good home! Please let me know and I'll get them out of the loft. 
    • I booked a last minute appointment today for an eye shape as a bit of a treat as my family and I have a lot going on - cancer, dementia - so I fancied a little pick me up today. However, I left Dr Boo's feeling the exact opposite!  As soon as I had arrived at the beauticians a lady greeted me with a scowling face and basically started shouting at me saying that I was late. Apparently, she was the manager of the place! 😞 My first reaction was to apologise as I had found it difficult to park and therefore I assumed that trying to find a parking space had taken longer than I had thought.  But she continued to tell me off/shout at me - even after I'd apologised - so I calmly pointed out to her that I didn't think her behaviour or attitude was an appropriate way to greet a customer!   I then went upstairs with the actual beautician who did my eye brow shape. She was deeply embarrassed by her manager's outburst and exceedingly apologetic - btw she was also an excellent beautician who did a brilliant job shaping my eye brows. 5 stars for her!  When I got upstairs there was clock in the treatment room which said 12.18 - my appointment was at 12.15! Taking into account the altercation downstairs, plus walking up the stairs to the treatment room it seems that I wasn't actually late for my appointment at all! (See attached photo).  When I went back downstairs I spoke with the rude manageress and said I want to make an official compliant, and showed her the photograph of the clock saying 12.18 and asked her why she had she been so rude to me when I wasn't even late. TBH even if I had been late I still shouldn't have been shouted at in that way.  Her response was to say that the clock in the treatment was wrong and her watch was right and that I was at least 5 minutes late!? Even if that had been the case, no-one warrants that treatment.  I have never left a negative review before now, however,  when I tried to get hold of the owner of the beauticians to complain, the number I'd been given didn't work. Surprise, surprise.  So, Dr Boo I'd suggest you immediately put your manageress on a training course.  And perhaps the owner could give me a call to apologise!  No stars for the rude, and completely in the wrong manageress, but 5 stars for the lovely beautician who actually gave me an eye brow shape.
