Hi Kath,

Yes, we've had tea at Reids and it was a lovely experience. It was a few years ago now and the details have faded but the food was exactly as you would expect, probably on a 3-tier cake stand with perfectly made sandwiches, feather light scones and exquisitely decorated little cakes. The atmosphere was elegantly casual and I don't remember feeling as though we had to whisper! Service was excellent and unobtrusive - in short just as you are probably imagining it to be. You can wear a dress you would wear on board ship for dinner, but maybe not too strappy/bare or eveningy if you know what I mean. Just my feeling, which may be wrong, but if you are intending to wear something strappy take a shrug or cardi to pop round your shoulders if you feel uncomfortable when you get there. I think hubby probably wore a blazer and not a suit.

After tea we had a wander round the gardens which were beautiful.

You'll have a very nice afternoon I'm sure, provided you speak in dulcet tones don't tell any dirty jokes and remember ....... absolutely no belching !

Oh flip better cancel now lmao
Im going to wear one of my smart casual dresses - not strappy but will still take a little shrug to be safe.

Thank you so much.

We had tea at Reids - a few years ago also. It was lovely. If you get there in good time you may as we did get a table out on the terrace which was fabulous.

Lots of choices of tea and lovely sandwiches and cakes. I think there was also a musician playing.

Hubby wore smart trousers and a shirt and tie and I wore smart black trousers and a dressy top. It really didn't feel uncomfortably posh.

It was really lovely and worth the cost as a special treat.
