Today myself and Bob decided to pay an inaugural visit.
The place is situated within a couple of miles of Hillers so a quick readjustment of one road on my Hillers route and all was sorted!
'Twas an ok sort of day when we set out, not bright and not dull either, was we got closer to Nanny Marj's the sun started shining.
The tearoom itself is a rather quaint affair, nicely decorated with paintings of dogs in uniform, a bicycle is also hoisted up above the main entrance sign, nice touch!
We eyed up what was on offer at the counter, on display was just an individual slice of each cake on offer inside a glass cabinet. I noted the scones were quite large.
Personally, I think they would really benefit by having entire cakes on display to draw the customer in - much more tantalizing!
We sat ourselves in the rear seating area, was rather quiet as we were the only ones in there, there was also table service which is a nice touch - we swiftly ordered cream teas from the very polite staff.
Our pot of tea arrived first and the server said she would return to refill with hot water a little later, however we discovered there was no milk supplied d'oh!
The scones arrived nicely presented warm with jam and cream. We asked for milk to which the server apologised for the oversight.
Then we found we had no spoons... we just used our knives as couldn't be bothered asking again.
The cream scones were delicious and could really tell it was home baked. A full 10/10.
The server didn't return to refill our teapot... more training required perhaps...
The scone made up for the staff oversights, hopefully the service will be spot on next time.
The sun shone on and off a bit on the way back, there was also rain which turned out to be a short shower phew!
Another grand day out with 52 miles covered.
