I have started a Cream Tea Club and we do exactly what the name suggests! Every month to six weeks, a group of scone lovers will get together over a cream tea in London (although there has been talk of taking this nationally and even globally!) and rate its component parts.
Each element (scone, cream, jam, tea) along with the categories of choice, venue, service and value for money will be given a score out of 5 and then averages will be taken to achieve overall scores. Results and reviews will be published here on the blog.
We're considering a lot when scoring but essentially we're looking for high quality fare (homemade scones with all the associated trimmings), attentive and knowledgeable staff, all housed in a place with ambience and a great attitude about their produce.
Our first cream tea was eaten on Saturday 11th December. We're just putting the finishing touches to our review and it will posted here in the next few days. Watch this space...
Globally sounds like a good idea!!
ReplyDeleteYes, taking it global does sound rather appealing! Maybe I should've asked for a gym membership for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWhislt we wait for the Cream Tea Clud, I thought I'd wish you a Happy Holiday and a Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThanks, and to you too! Very nice having a few days off work and indulging in good food and good wine. The festive season has been very busy so all quiet on the blog front. Going to make some time this evening though! All the best for 2011 :)
