Wonderful reviews. I agree about afternoon tea, we have always used this as a meal,either late lunch or early dinner depending upon the time. Do take your kids. This last trip we were part of a grand gathering of 15, so only the "ladies" went to tea. But on all our other trips traveling as a single mom with a son & daughter we all went & my son enjoyed it a lot.(Of course having a mil who is English helps, my kids have grown up as tea drinkers) Devonshire cream is incredible, the 1st time I ever had the real thing was on a trip to England in 1981, my mil & I ending up eating it right out of the container with spoons! This upcoming trip this summer I'll be with my son & a friend of his, while they're at DQ, I'll just have to have tea by myself.
