                              A little disappointing for the price. The bread for the sandwiches was dry on the edges as if they’d been left on the side for a while, except the egg mayonnaise roll which was delicious and juicy. Scones were both very dry and so was the ginger cake. We requested another pot of tea three times before it arrived. Sadly I expected better.
