Previously called here for a drink, and promised myself would return for Afternoon Tea. We arrived ahead of time and escorted to our table in the Drawing Room promptly. We chose the English Sparkling Afternoon Tea, with a wide choice of different teas to go with. We started with an Amuse Bouche, followed by delicious sandwiches, scones, sweet selection, plus cake to share. Anything that you couldn’t eat could be boxed up to take away. However, as we were going straight to the theatre, this wasn’t an option for us sadly! We enjoyed listening to the pianist who also sang a few songs, and we weren’t rushed to finish our tea or leave the Drawing Room after we finished eating. I had expressed in writing that our tea was to celebrate a birthday, but was disappointed that this wasn’t acknowledged in any way. I didn’t want to cause embarrassment to my guest, therefore didn’t comment on it. It didn’t spoil our experience, but it would have made it a little more special if it had been acknowledged in any small way.
