Went for afternoon tea as my mum had never been so...

Went for afternoon tea as my mum had never been so my sister and I bought it as a mother's day present and thought it would be nice as I got married at the original Orsett Hall some years ago. Sorry to say for what we got and for what we ate, it was somewhat disappointing and expensive. The cakes were a bit weird in that we got blondies instead of brownies, orange and earl grey tea cake which was dry, caramel/toffee eclairs with popcorn. The scones were nice. Then there was my little nieces sandwiches.... well she was creating a fuss about eating them and we know she loves ham but her bread was dry as toast! Her jelly was way too sweet and the donut didn't taste like a donut. Her milkshake was lovely though. Staff were very pleasant and all told, my mum got a couple of hours out with her girls!
I wouldn't be in a rush to go there again though - Sorry.
