Enjoyed a truly scrumptious afternoon tea here. Wonderful small garden, with an array of different potted herbs to smell. Inside is beautifully presented and complete with grand piano. Excellent service and well worth a visit!

Sadly The Hill Pub has been allowing anti-social individuals meet inside/operate in surrounding streets, and are disturbing the local businesses and families with lack of trust for the new management/landlord in the Forest Hill conservation area. 12 police officers raid last night April 9, 7:30pm regarding 3 individuals the police told us. Neighbours are confirming the police are monitoring the anti-social individuals.
