DID YOU KNOW ? 🧐 The main inspiration for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes character was his former Medical Professor, Dr Joseph Bell. Whilst studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh, Doyle worked for Dr Bell at his Outpatient Clerk.

Loved our afternoon tea today, a group of six friends enjoying cosy, quaint surroundings. Food was lovely, fresh, tasty & more than enough, with choice of tea/coffee & a glass of Prosecco. We had the chance to sample the lovely fayre using a voucher but would definitely return & more than happy to pay full price next time. Staff very friendly & attentive, thank you.
