My sister and I went ther last Sunday with the idea of taking a group of our friends there for a High Tea in the future.
They need 24 hours notice for the High Tea (which is fair enough)
My sister had Chai Latte and baked Camembert and I had a Bolands soft drink and a pastie.
The chai latte was lovely as she had the choice of tea leaves or syrup, but the drink was only small. The baked Camembert was lovely. When it was served, she asked for a lemon lime and bitters as she had finished the latte,
My drink is an American drink I love which is in a small bottle, but it was silly to serve it with a HUGE glass as it just made it look silly.
My pastie I was served was over cooked, flat and not very tasty. It had obviously been microwaved to heat it as the outside was soft and the inside was red hot. It was served with a salad of a few lettice leave, 2 cherry tomatoes and a few onion rings. No dressing and with the dry pastie, not very nice.
We had nearly finished eating when we were told that "they didnt have any bitters", (it had been so long since she ordered it, she had forgotten all about it) so my sister declined to order another drink as we were nearly finished.
I had also ordered Tea, scone and double cream to follow as I really wasnt full.
The tea was lovely, the scone was large enough to cut into 4 quarters and nice and light, but the "double cream ??" I am sure it was canned cream and certainly not "double cream". When you get a scone and get a little bowl of jam and cream, you tend to then have to work a mathimatical equation top make sure you dont use all the jam or cream up before you have finished the scone. The fact that it was "canned cream"meant that the cream "deflated" as I used it and I could only put a little bit on each quarter of the scone.
Also, the floor boards were shakey, so EVERY time the staff walked to and from the kitched, our table shook a little,
It cost $44, and I am sure if I had gone to somehere else, I would have had a better experience.
It might have been a bad day for them, but I wont be back to find out.

Approximate cost: $15.00
