Afternoon tea? A lovely and
elegant tearoom situated in the quant village of Ditchling in East Sussex.
We entered a dainty looking cake shop, with windows and display counters
deliciously decorated with a wonderful selection of cakes. We followed the building
round and entered a room, which felt like I was in my grandmother's living
room. It had a cosy cottage-like feel, with a warm friendly atmosphere. We sat by the fireplace in the back room and looked at the
menu.
The cosy, traditional fireplace we sat next to. |
The menu consisted of what one
would expect from a tea rooms. Afternoon tea, sandwiches, cakes, scones, but
also cooked food such as fish and chips. I decided to go for my favourite
Sandwich; Prawn Cocktail. The sandwich came with a nice salad garnish and a
handful of Sweet Chilli flavoured Kettle Chips. My partner enjoyed a Coronation
Chicken Sandwich, described as ‘lovely’. I enjoyed my sandwich too, I must
admit you can’t really go too wrong with a Sandwich, but this was very tasty.
After our Sandwiches, we just couldn’t resist going to select a slice of
cake. We went back out to the shop front and we were met with a difficult
decision, which cake? I decided to choose a tempting slice of Sponge cake.
My partner and I served a very
dignified afternoon with pleasant conversation over afternoon tea, in
atmospheric tearooms, and I couldn't be more relaxed. The service was good
and the food excellent, a really good choice for a nice quiet spot of Afternoon
tea.
