I had a cappuccino, and to be perfectly honest it might've been the nicest one I've ever had. Coffee shops are so expensive nowadays but the prices for the quality at hot gossip are fantastic. A lovely member of staff brought my coffee to me in the beautiful garden, and the experience overall was lovely.

Recently used Hot Gossip for an afternoon/high tea surprise for our boss. From initial contact to providing the sandwiches, scones and cakes, Lorraine has been brilliant to deal with she even brough everything down to the office and set it up for us so it looked pretty and it was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. Would thoroughly recommend. Thank you Lorraine
