What to expect
You'll arrive at the riverside café and be shown to your reserved table. Staff bring out tiered platters with finger sandwiches, warm scones, and pastries, alongside your chosen beverage. The setting is refined but relaxed—expect the gentle bustle of a busy café rather than hushed formality. The hour flows at a natural pace; this isn't rushed. Views across the water provide a pleasant backdrop whilst you work through the spread. Weather permitting, the riverside location means genuine breeze and light, not just window dressing.
