It was the premiere of Season 5 of Birmingham’s own Peaky Blinders yesterday! & to celebrate, we had ourselves a little (it was huge) Peaky Blinders Gentlemen’s Afternoon Tea at The Lobby on Hill Street, in our home town of Birmingham.
We did it again! This time we stumbled into this gem in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon & thought what kind of Afternoon Tea company & cat loving folk would we be if we passed up the chance to kill two birds (not literally!) & tell you about this cute & quirky Cafe??

We had so much fun, managed to bag a lot of free tasty gin samples (dangerous down the 199 steps) & got to spot some of THE best decked out Halloween windows the town had to offer!
Check out our edited* (it was VERY hard to be selective of photos!) photo album of our fave spots & what we got up to!
Thanks!
