    The overall service was great and the experience was worthwhile. Unfortunately we waited a while at our table for the bill. Because of this, we decided to go settle it at the front desk, and a single staff member made an assumption that we were not aware we still had to settle our bill; as if we were going to leave the establishment without making the payment. This could have all been avoided had it been brought to us in a timely fashion. Anyway, a good experience overall.

    Absolutely fabulous - everyone in our group of 12 ranging in age from 13-82 enjoyed the experience. An amazing selection of both savoury and sweet treats in generous quantities. We weren't quite so sure about a couple of the different teas but loved the welcome drink. A goodie box of some of the leftovers went down very well in place of BA food that night!

    What an amazing afternoon tea. Tea pairing with savoury and sweet delicacies… Yes, please! Definitely worth a visit with spectacular mountain and sea views.

    I recently visited for their high tea experience, and unfortunately, it was quite disappointing. The food was mediocre at best—everything felt flat and monotone in taste, with very little variety or excitement. It definitely left much to be desired. The savoury was better than the sweet. The service also fell short. We had to repeatedly ask for tea refills, while other tables seemed to receive attentive, proactive service with their teapots regularly topped up. Similarly, our water glasses were never refilled ever, which made the experience feel neglected and inconsistent. This wasn’t my first visit—I’ve been here twice before—and it’s disappointing to say that each time the experience seems to get worse rather than better. Overall, not the standard I was expecting, and sadly not somewhere I’d rush back to.

    An absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The high tea at the Silo was exceptional beautifully presented, delicious, and paired with outstanding service. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special treat.

    Everything about this experience was only just average. We arrived for 15:30 seating, but by 16:30 the waiters were setting up for dinner service and felt like we needed to finish up.
