 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an experience! Don’t think I’ve laughed as much on an afternoon tea as I did on this one. Helen was hilarious and so helpful and accommodating. My friends and I had a blast and I would recommend this afternoon tea 100%. The great singing was the icing on the cake! 😀.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was at the Barras yesterday and was offered a free sample of braised steak, cheese and chips. The steak was amazing, so tender and delicious. I also had the opportunity to speak to the amazing business owner and some of her team.   Well done on this amazing venture. The bus was packed as it was seen leaving from the Barras. Good luck, From Kay
