Really good Afternoon Tea

“I recently enjoyed the classic afternoon tea experience at The Merchant, and it was truly a treat! The artisan menu was very nice, and the staff were kind and helpful throughout our visit. The house blend tea was good, and I'd highly recommend going hungry as there's plenty to indulge in. It's a perfect way to spoil yourself or a loved one!” view full review

Marvelous Cocktail Bar

“One of the highlights of my trip was visiting the cocktail bar at The Merchant. The atmosphere was so captivating, with a unique selection of cocktails crafted with care. I enjoyed a delicious pistachio cocktail, and the bartender's recommendations were spot on. The complimentary nibbles and the humor of the staff made the experience truly nice!” view full review
