On our last trip I specifically wanted to try the Stickey Toffee Pudding from R&C, but didn't want to sit in the restaurant for it. I asked one evening at the podium if I could get a dessert as take-out. There was a pretty good string of people waiting to checkin so obviously the restaurant was busy and I was asking at prime dinnertime. The answer was, understandably, "No."
The next day I went back in the midafternoon with the exact same request. The restaurant was not busy at all. I was told that I would have to at least be seated but the server would make my dessert "to-go." Less than five minutes after sitting down at the table I had the boxed dessert ready to go, left cash on the table with a nice tip, and was on my merry way to the english garden area to enjoy the treat.
