Had afternoon on a lovely sunny Friday afternoon. We were seated by a young waiter who asked if we wanted tea or coffee. It’s wasn’t until he went that we helped ourself to the menu on the table which have us different tea options to choose from. We were not offered any water or other drinks which I found odd. We then received our afternoon tea and the sandwiches were lovely. The scones and cream however were awful. You’d expect some lovely clotted cream. What we got I described as looking like vanilla icecream and it tasted so sour. I didn’t risk eating it as I’m pregnant. My husband searched the venue for a member of staff and resorted to asking reception. The young waiter came back and we explained our concerns re- the sour cream. He sent it back to the kitchen and came back with fresh cream and said the chef had taste me it and it was fine. Freshly made this morning using vanilla. Maybe we just don’t have very good taste buds but again it was sour. We then never saw a member of staff again until we left and spoke to the receptionist.
