Overview
Tea is served at a table with a view of English roses and California palms through a lace curtained window. Surrounded by lovely items from Britain - with the sound of clinking bone china cups and saucers - fragrance of hot scones and fresh roses - and soft tone of English music from a bygone era - close your eyes and you are in another time and place!

We serve a traditional English style Full Afternoon Tea featuring a selection of finger sandwiches (including the favourite - Cucumber), freshly baked scones with lashings of Devon cream and our own delicious preserve. To complete the treat there's a selection of sweets, including the famous Rose Tree Cottage shortbread. During tea we serve you all the English Village Tea you can drink. All is served on fine Royal Doulton Bone China.

Food: I found the staff, who may have been the proprietress, unbelievably rude. It is true we were perhaps under-dressed, but no call to treat us as sub-human. |

Food:  Picture this… Pasadena, California. A charming Little cottage. Inside a cramped room full of Aga stoves, men clothing, soaps, books and dusty dishes. No open windows, no air, frightfully stuffy. Being greeted by an extremely rude woman simply because you are late exactly 5 minutes. A small confined table in the corner of a backroom. Dusty and dirty glass shelves. One kind of tea, no choice here. No teapot on the table, constantly have to beg the rude server who acts as if she is pouring liquid gold into your cup. Stale bread, with thin spreads of tasteless ingredients, not enough even with afternoon tea standards. Petite sweets that were so so. I must admit the scones are very good. Now here comes the shocker!! After being presented with a hefty check, we were soon asked to leav... (more) |
