“Fabulous Afternoon Tea”

This was a gift bought for us and it was fabulous. The food was really lovely, we had to take some home as there was so much. We had lovely pink fizz. The place was great, the service was very good. Loved it, hope we can return again soon. Keep up the great work.

“A wonderful Afternoon Tea”

We visited the Fizzy Tarte on our wedding anniversary and treated ourselves to the Ultimate Afternoon tea which came with a hot drink and a glass of Rose Prosecco. The food- sandwiches, scones and cakes could not be faulted. It was all fresh, top quality and very enjoyable.

The drinks- again, all lovely and tasty stuff. We also tried some of the cocktails from the menu and greatly enjoyed them all. The staff were all so welcoming and friendly and helped make it a nice celebration for our special day.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Lovely afternoon tea

First time to Fizzy Tarte and exceeded expectations. The service was first class from start to finish and they were really accommodating with everything we requested.

The afternoon tea was huge and although we couldn’t finish it in 2 hours, they gave us a box to take it away. Will definitely be back.
