Scone was fruited, decent texture, served with a mini pot of jam and a couple of pats of anchor butter. Which all sounds fine, but it was lacking in flavour somehow.

Tea - well that’s another thing altogether. Only nasty paper cups available, no real milk, only the unpleasant miniature cartons of ‘milk with non-milk fat’ which apparently ‘tastes like real milk’. Pah! And how much do they charge for just one cup of this sacreligious brew? £1.60. Bloody Nora.

£3.90 - far too much for what you get.

It's a crime. –>

A damn fine cream tea this. Tea, in a nice pot with real milk - yield, 3 cups. Scone was delivered as shown with lashings of cream on one half and oodles of strawberry jam on the other half, which meant you had to either slap the two together and scarf the lot in one big undignified gobful, or, as I did, embark upon some tricky transferring and stirring action. Scone was a nice soft texture, fruited and darn tasty. Highly recommended.
