Did a Mother's Day High Tea at Adore Teahouse back in 2018, was lovely and really enjoyed it. Went for Mother's Day High Tea this year and much has changed... to start with the amount of people squeezed into the indoor space surely exceeded covid maximums (advertised as max of 30, I counted many more). Booked for 5 people (4 adults + 1 child), was seated at a table for 4, was 'fixed' by placing a chair at the end of the table - but no place setting nor any extra room. Asked for a place setting and they queried why when the booking was for 4. Because of the number of people inside, we were squashed into the corner, hard up against the window, the backs of our chairs were up against the wall and the chairs at the next table too (so no room), where as the two tables to our immediate right had 3 and 2 people on them (same size table as I was seated at) and they had heaps of room and very open. Due to the very limited room, service with the staff meant we had the delights of underarms in our face whenever they delivered food and tea. On arrival, we were presented with a champagne punch in a flute glass that still had lipstick on it from the previous person (returned it immediately). A couple of small house spiders graced us with their presence too. Food was reasonable and the tea was nice but I don't anticipate a return visit anytime soon. Sorry, two stars. See less
