Tea at Melford Hall, Suffolk

Without question the worst National Trust tearoom I have ever been in. You may have spotted the obvious lack of scone - well, they didn’t sell ‘em. Just crappy plastic-wrapped cakes of nastiness that I refuse to waste my hard-earned pennies on. Tea (well hot water with a teabag dumped in it) served in a paper cup without so much as a cardboard collar to protect my hands from burning. It came with two cartons of UHT whiteness, that was either a bit off, or just vile-tasting. There was no discernible tea flavour - it simply tasted disgusting.

Shame because the house was nice, and all the folks that were working there were perfectly charming.

£1.00 - total rip off.
