    The afternoon tea experience is fun, and well served. However, everything is apportioned out - each person gets a very tiny bit of each savoury or sweet item - 15 in all. A pot of tea, a cup of coffee, a complimentary glass of bubbles and a go at a cake table do not substitute for an expensive lunch, which is when we went.Apparently we could have ordered more scones, which I would have done as they were delicious.
