Shockingly poor set up. I queued for 30 minutes before reaching the tills (if we weren't starving I wouldnt have bothered) and waited another 15 minutes for the food to arrive.

The scone was fresh but not very cheesy, possibly mustard powder had been added to add a stronger flavour. Given that other NT properties who do not have custom built facilities can offer full Sunday Roasts this was very...
