Value for Money

Pros:

Cons:

• "Be careful with take away and check what is in your box before you leave. Just got very short changed on a slice of cake I bought."
• "Had been wanting to visit for some time, but was sorely disappointed... the cake was lovely. But it was a very underwhelming experience."
