White Lace Bakery — Restaurant in England

Looks like a lovely place. So on a nice sunny day I went in to order tea and scone. And waited. And waited. Perhaps there was only one person working this Sunday 12.30ish. So I ordered. The young lass was as expected - a minimum of politeness. Take a seat outside, looking forward to a lazy snack. In a timely fashion she brought out the tray of cherry scone, clotted cream, rock hard mini packet of butter and a cup of tea... with a tea bag in the cup still. They could not even be arsed to make a real pot of tea. So, I poured in the provided glass jug of watery milk, removed that satanic thing from my cup and stirred. It was a good job my throat was as parched as an El Alamein trooper at noon, or that 'tea' would have been the end. Suffice to say it wet the sides, but that was all. On to the scone. Nice. Or rather, as a previous reviewer has stated, the mere attempt to butter said scone with the concrete butter destroyed the scone. Alas, the crumbs were eaten - given my ravenous state, naturally. So now I give this review in all sincerity and...

My wife has had us stop at this bakery a few times for take away cakes which have always been impressive each time. This occasion we went in to try their lunch time menu, a brunch, however we caught them in their crossover period so we had their breakfast menu instead. We both ordered pancakes, and I particularly wasn't expecting much, no disrespect, but perhaps very thin pancakes. Not that that would have been a problem for me, but what came blew me away, and my stomach! The pancakes were so thick, covered in melted chocolate, decorated nicely and extremely filling! Very reasonably priced, but do remember that all foods are cooked fresh and to order. Do expect up to 30 minutes wait, even if it is quiet, but rest assure with a coffee and chat in between, this time flies. Please do pay this smaller business a visit and give them...

We had Morning Tea, which is a full breakfast in afternoon tea style. The food was excellent, and was clearly all made fresh.

It is presented on a 2-tier tray with the bottom tier being the cooked breakfast part, and the top being the continental side of things. The cooked items were ham and egg on a muffin, pancakes with bacon and maple syrup, sausage on a brioche bun and toast with feta, avocado and peppers. Quality was fantastic, and all was the perfect temperature.

The top tier was a range of pastries, fruit, a savoury scone and granola with yoghurt.

Service was as you'd expect with a range of different items being prepared, but the food came in good time. Service was very friendly and the overall experience was very nice. All in all I can't find fault with anything...
