点评:We booked in for afternoon (high) tea based on written recommendations from others. Based on the price of £25 pp we were expecting a high class experience in lovely surroundings.
What we had was a table in a bleak, depressing bar area that smelt of stale smoke (possibly wafting in from smokers outside). It was just so far removed from the nice hotel dining room we were expecting that it was almost funny were it not costing so much. There was no one else around and we felt utterly out of place and miserable.
The tea was just a pot with tea bags, no loose leaf. The food itself was just okay although the scone was very small, there was no clotted cream only whipped double, and the cakes weren’t great. There was also no fruit skewer as advertised, just 1 strawberry.
I would say it was highly overpriced, and not somewhere to go if you want a special experience. Mostly let down by the surroundings and atmosphere which were more akin to a holiday camp bar.
I’m still really upset that we paid £50 for this.

我们坐在一张阴暗、压抑的酒吧区的桌子旁,那里弥漫着陈腐的烟味(可能是外面吸烟者散发的)。它与我们预期的漂亮酒店餐厅相距甚远,如果不是花费太多的话,这几乎有点好笑。周围没有其他人,我们感到非常不自在和痛苦。
茶只是一壶茶包,没有散叶。食物本身还可以,虽然司康饼很小,没有凝固奶油,只有双份奶油,蛋糕也不好吃。也没有广告中说的水果串,只有一颗草莓。
我想说的是,它的价格太高了,如果你想要特别的体验,这里不是你要去的地方。最让人失望的是周围的环境和氛围,它们更像是度假营酒吧。
我到现在还对我们为此花费了50英镑感到非常难过。
