Afternoon Tea.||I wanted somewhere nice to take my Mum, who was visiting, for afternoon tea. We have previously stayed at the hotel and enjoyed our stay. However, how disappointing. We were early and sat in the lounge with a drink. It was not suitable weather for sitting outside. When we were called through for our tea, it was on the table including the tea already made but there were no plates. We asked for these and they took several minutes to arrive. Summary of the food:|- the sandwiches were big and not particularly well presented, both of mine still had parts of crusts on them|- the tiny, and I mean tiny, savoury pastry case was burnt and crisp|- the sausage roll was ok but it would have been better slightly warm|- scones and cream were ok, however a 1 person tea got the same amount of jam and cream as a 2 person tea? |- meringues - no cream, a few bits of fruit on a white sugar shop bought meringue, homemade ones never taste like that|- macarons - ok|- carrot cake ok but seemed shop bought|- chocolate brownie was dry and heavy|- Bakewell tart shop bought||As you can see I was not best pleased and I haven’t even mention the cost! Far too much. ||We also went around the garden, again a disappointment. Very untidy, a complete lack of flowers and games equipment strewn all over the lawn. A little care and attention needed. ||So Rosevine, a very disappointing experience.
