2 /5 Beverley: I am sorry but I do not understand the 5 star rating. The sandwiches and gluten free bread were nice today but the cake and scones were awful. The jam was tasteless and of thin quality as was the cream and the crisps were like cardboard. I had a piece of date and chocolate cake but there were no dates in the slice and only 1 piece of chocolate. It was so dry that I found it difficult to swallow and only had 1 bite and left it….this would be obvious when being cleaned off. Whilst my husbands scone was completed by him and my family also [who did not want to complain as this was an occasion for me] [and we had to pay extra for not having the cake but having a scone instead] and not wanting to spoil it….My husband’s scone was flat and tasted uncooked. The coffee was filter coffee, not good coffee barista and for the price this is not good enough in today’s market. For £18 for the Parlour tea, plus scone extra, you expect better ingredients than today’s. I am not sure if this was just a bad day but we will not recommend and will not go back.
