This time I went for the official cream tea on offer, so got two scones rather than the one I normally go for. So the price is a bit more.

The tea was all in order, cup and saucer, tea in a pot and milk in a jug. Nicely provided with an extra pot of hot water for topping up purposes. Top touch. Ooo, it was lovely, a nice cup of tea.

The scones themselves, were damn fine, lovely home-made texture with a hint of crunch to the outside and a lovely moist centre, not too fluffy, not too doughy. Nice cream, but the portion a little stingy for two scones.

The jam however, was a disaster. It all looked good - in a mini-glass jar - not homemade, but the glass jar stuff is usually ok. It was supposed to be strawberry, but the only way you’d know was by reading the label. On opening the jar, I could pour liquid out onto the scone, then the ‘jam’ inside was a weird translucent flabby jelly that had never seen a strawberry. The flavour was citric. Nasty stuff.

Please note scone-servers of Baddesley Clinton - get a better jam supplier to do your scones some justice!

£4.35 - but that’s for two (count ‘em!) scones.
