"Cowarth Park Afternoon Tea is fairly good but not so special as to know why it won the Best Award this year. The food was fresh and the tea good but I did not enjoy the fancy bread for the sandwiches and the scones looked very processed and left a bit of an after taste and the quince jam does not really suit scones as far as I am concerned. A scone to me should be of a round shape but it does not need to be perfect as these seemed to attempt to be, almost cylindrical. A fruit scone also should have fruit within it and not just a coupel of raisins on the side. The cakes were a little too sweet as well and, whilst it is the way with this type of meal and it was carried out very well, I prefer to pour my own tea exactly when I want it. Overall I have rated as 4 because it was nice enough but nothing extra special that I expected with the top award."
