    Wonderful experience; awesome team and our Afternoon Tea was also really nice with good variety. Bonus was selecting specific sandwiches from menu! The homemade scones were lovey and light and trifle delicious! Our tiramisu wasn’t overly sweet and had a pipette shot too. As it was Val’s Day (Eve) the decoration was an extra pleasant treat; thank you ladies!!

    Came for an afternoon tea treat for mothers day, thoroughly enjoyed our visit (our 1st visit to you) we will definitely be back! The selection on the afternoon tea was delicious. I've never had such fresh sandwiches anywhere before, the bread was so soft. The selection of mini cakes was ample, as were the scones. Presentation was lovely. Very accommodating with the extra plate of goodies you provided for my son as an extra besides our paid for afternoon tea. Only slight disappointment was being served with a pot of tea each rather than being offered a choice of tea or coffee with the afternoon tea, but that's purely because I don't drink tea! I ordered a coffee separately to have with my afternoon tea instead.

    I think I’ve just found my next favourite cafe My first thought when my sister took me down a side street in the centre of town was “ what dingy place has this Gen Z found?” But I couldn’t be any further from the truth. Truth be told I opened the doors to 5 fox lane and immediately I felt at home. The comfortable atmosphere, with its up-to-date interior decor, it felt like I was in Bristol- which if you know me you know I love my family run quaint coffee shops. This place would be perfect for dates and the warm and friendly staff make sure to go out of their way to help you. I completely customised my avocado on toast and had it with poached eggs and sliced avocado instead of mushed, on a brown seeded bread. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them as they made my sister a fresh plain cheese toastie which wasn’t on the menu! After having a delicious hot chocolate and for myself a mocha, our food arrived promptly. It was heavenly and absolutely perfect for a little cafe! The plate could have been decorated with a little bit of greenery ( finely chopped parsley or some chilli flakes and it ((the colours would make the food look absurdly good)) but I know that’s just me being picky as this would not change the taste of the food! They definitely don’t skim out on their servings and their stringy cheese toastie really satisfied my sister! I will definitely be back because there is nothing quite like Five Fox Lane. I simply did not have a room in my stomach for the sausage rolls or any of their desserts but being as cheap as chips are most definitely will do next time.
