Afternoon tea, 17.5.26 Firstly, on my online booking I requested to be seated at table 31. However, on arrival 3 people who were just having drinks were seated at the table and we were shown to a smaller table. If these 3 people had been having afternoon tea I could understand that but they were not, this was very disappointing. As for the food - the sweet elements were fine but the sandwiches were poor. The bread was very thick (with some crusts) and the fillings were inadequate for the thickness of the bread. When we requested that we would like to take away our uneaten cream scones we expected them to be taken away, boxed up and returned to us but I was just presented with an empty box to do it myself. Although in the main the cream tea was ok I was left disappointed by some elements of the food and service.
