"I haven’t written a Tripadvisor review for quite sometime and I thought long and hard before writing this one. We have passed this place quite a lot of times but as we have a favourite tea room/cafe which we like to support we had never called in. We popped in for a cheese scone and a cup of tea last week and sat outside in what is effectively a car park. As soon as the scone arrived we knew it was bad news. If something doesn’t look like a scone, doesn’t have the consistency of a scone and doesn’t taste like a scone then it’s not a scone. I’m not quite sure what we had, I think it was a brioche bun with a bit of cheese on top. It was faintly sweet and quite horrible. When I queried it the waitress simply said ‘what is a scone then? My wife’s tea was very weak, the loose tea leaves having been enclosed in a metal wire sphere which was left in the pot. The only flavour was of metal, the tea flavour can’t escape from the metal cage!! To add insult to injury to ‘scones’ were priced at £4.50 each so two teas and two scones was £14, I felt completely ripped off. £4.50 for a scone is a London west end price. Mark Cross garden centre £2.50, Whites nursery Five ashes, £3 and so on. How on earth can you justify £4.50 for a ‘scone? They had better be careful, Stavertons garden centre is about to open a new cafe and its only a few minutes from Ringmer, I know where I’ll be going in future."
