The Eccentric Englishman (Brunch, Afternoon Tea, Cocktails, Private Hire)

"Brilliantly quirky spot, as the name would suggest! Delicious sandwiches, delectable cheesecake and a brilliant cuppa. Felt welcomed even though I was sat alone. Big thumbs up! Support local folks."

"Wow, what can i say? Eccentric is the right name for this place, what an eclectic decor, but its so cool at the same time, the prices are very good and a lot to choose from on the menu, they even do home made cheesecake fresh every day with everything from a full english to afternoon tea. You really need to come here."

"Very cosy place run by nice and friendly lady. Ideal place for quiet coffees break. You can also book a table for small party. Lots of decor related to the Alice in Wonderland."

"Took my daughter for her birthday for a nice lunch as read the positive reviews. We were told the fish and chicken strips not available (no reason) so we went the chicken cesar sandwich and the club....both came with single slice of processed chicken a piece of lettuce and a couple of crisps. Service was miserable and the food was really poor. Very disappointing and NOT what we were expecting or indeed hoping for. Felt like i had let my daughter down...thanks The Eccentric Englishmen...i can see why you call yourself eccentric...processed chicken!!!"

"We entered into this Alice in Wonderland grotto as it looked so enticing from outside, and it didnt disappoint inside, all manner of interesting memorabilia, trinkets and excerpts from the book on pictures end even chair covers! Very warm welcome by the owner(?) and we were seated immediately although the table hadnt been cleared from the previous customers....it was done fairly quickly. From then on, the service was not as good. We ordered a pot of tea for 2, seeing all sorts of wonderful teapots on the other tables, a posh fish finger sandwich and a bacon, brie and cranberry panini, both these came with crisps and salad. The tea arrived soon, first big problem, the pictured tea pot is impossible to pour without filling the saucer and table with tea too. Luckily, we had a box of tissues so mopped up as the staff were busy with themselves. Pouring the tea for a 2nd cup involved another tissue to catch the errant tea....the spout of the pot really does not lend itself for practical use. The food on arrival was very tasty, well presented and the fish finger sandwich was excellent. Unfortunately, no cutlery or napkin was provided..so it was fingers only and another tissue from our box. The waitress didnt return to the table until the very end. When we asked for the bill, it was brought over swiftly, amount spoken and card reader presented, I thought perhaps the waitress was playing the part of the Queen, however, as she didnt say anything else, not even "off with their heads", perhaps she was just having an off day, certainly not buying into the fun concept of the cafe bar. As we left, we turned to say goodbye, ignored again by our waitress, luckily, the young lady behind the bar gave a pleasant smile and wished us goodbye. Concept, confusing and service didnt reflect it. Food good, tea...what was in the cups, good."
