Breakfast Tea and Sultana Scone

Location: Crabtree & Evelyn Café, Stratford-upon-Avon
Date: 6 May 2009
Description: English Breakfast tea and a sultana scone with butter and cherry jam.

Notes: A decent cup of of tea which would have been improved if served with skimmed milk (semi tastes too strong for my liking). The scone was very good though - it came heated without me having to ask and didn't crumble too much. The cherry jam was nice but possibly blackcurrant not cherry. Unless cherries have become tiny and purple.

Please note the attention to detail displayed in this photograph - every avenue of twee-ness is covered in this cafe: Wedgewood-style C&E branded crockery, imitation dog-rose, even a floral paper napkin. Disappointingly, the jam container was polystyrene - it should be glass at the very least, which would be more appealing on the table and also cut down on the café's waste.

Michelle and I were at least three decades younger than the rest of clientele in this traditional Stratford café but don't let that put you off. It's also a great hiding place if you don't want to get spotted by colleagues. So I'm told.
