Best sandwich I'e had in a long time. Roast chicken. Came with delicious coleslaw. Service superb, by every team member. Quick. Christmas afternoon tea looks lovely. The Marks Hall estate very nice to visit too.

This place is amazing! My wife and I went for afternoon tea to celebrate our anniversary and birthdays. Firstly, what a lovely warm welcome by all staff. When our tea and cake arrived, the staff had put a sparkler on to celebrate our occasion. The tea, sandwiches and cakes were delicious! The best afternoon tea we have had. Thank you to all staff!

My husband and I stopped at Mrs Salisbury’s at Marks Hall Estate for lunch after a lovely walk, and we were very impressed. It was our first time at this branch, and we were really pleased with the service – all the staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food was delicious, and despite the extremely hot weather, the atmosphere remained relaxed and enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!

Frequently visit but first time having an afternoon tea here! Absolutely wonderful, the flavours of everything were just spot on, even catered for my dislikes. Service was exceptional and the surroundings are just lovely. 10/10 experience.

We enjoyed our walk around the Markshall estate. The gardens are beautiful . However the weather suddenly changed, so we decided to have lunch in Mrs Salisbury's cafe. The staff gave us a warm & friendly welcome.The ploughman's was delicious, my daughter had the brie salad, which she said was very good. The waitress even offered our little dog a sausage! Lovely cafe, would definitely recommend.

Had a fantastic lunch here. The Cumberland sausage sandwich was divine. My friend declared the club sandwich special as the “best cub sandwich ever”. Extensive tea and soda selection too. Location was lovely and staff friendly. Would happily return.

Food was good, expensive but good quality and portion sizes. Ploughman's was missing butter, chutney and apple when it was delivered, this was later rectified. Ham Egg and Chips was good, chips were only warm though. Chicken, Bacon and Avocado Salad was very good. Sausage Toastie with chips also was well liked. Waitress was polite, efficient. Food took a while to come about 45 minutes on Saturday lunchtime. Will be back, just a couple of misses from getting 5 stars for the price.

We absolutely loved our tea experience this afternoon! The food was fresh and delicious, earl grey tea was flavourful, service was kind and attentive but not overbearing and the setting was beautiful. We brought relatives visiting from overseas and they were well looked after by the friendly team. We will definitely be back soon!
