Afternoon tea today was so lovely. Especially because of the service by Ciaran (hope I’ve got his name right). Plus the sandwiches were fresh and delicious and the cakes were wonderful. Thank you for making my belated mother day special.

As the name suggests, it's a champagne bar but you can also get beer, wine, coffee, tea, snacks (charcuterie, cheese board, salads, sandwiches, pasta etc) and desserts. The space is cosy, quiet and spacious in a modern style. We didn't sample the food menu but the lemon meringue with raspberry sorbet is lovely. A really nice spot to chill and catch up with people.
