 | 	- We had the Chocolate-Lovers Afternoon Tea for Two:- A Groupon Voucher
Unremarkable. Scones were rock hard and cookie like. Sandwiches were boring, flavours mundane and uncreative, also why give an option to choose sandwiches, when you bring me whatever you want without asking me my preference? I can read the menu you handed me and it said to choose 4 of what was listed, yet you gave me no option and no reason why I was not given a choice... I found this to be a flaw in respecting your customer.
Dessert flavours were not well balanced and tasted like a block of dark chocolate without any differing notes, it served to overwhelm any other aspects of the sweet treats. 
I will say the chocolate croissant, Carbonated Jasmine tea, Rooibos Out Of Africa Wine Buds and coco-caramel buds tea was lovely, but not enough of an incentive for me to return to this establishment as I had come with high hopes for delicious scones.
I however see great potential in a quaint, lovely setting with a very creative room design. I honestly suggest having tea yourselves at the Omni King Edward, Windsor Arms Hotel or Ritz Carlton and getting an idea of what scones should be, for that was the most disappointing aspect of the entire experience, maybe some research will help you further develop your own recipe. 
I say if you're in the area by all means stop in and try the tea and perhaps other fare available on their menu, but sadly at this point an otherwise hopeful tea experience fell short of my expectations. I would sooner pay the extra $$$ for a tea experience with light, melt in your mouth scones, than hard cookies masquerading as scones.
Response to Owner - I have also had Scones in London, Tottenham, and three different regions of Isle of wight, your scones were nothing like what I encountered and sampled. But I am no expert and it indeed did not suit my taste in scones.
