Drake Teas On The Bus — Restaurant in Rochford

Overpriced and poor service. Scenery was nothing to be desired of for £25 pp afternoon tea.. Upon arrival of food stand we found a black curly hair in a sandwich and from that point we were cautious with each bite that we took we didn’t want to find another as we found a further hair hanging off the tray plate aswell. Member of staff took the sandwich away and didn’t offer to replenish. Lack of cutlery and crockery was having to use same utensils I’d eaten a kieche with to butter my scone and used a napkin for a plate as staff too busy cleaning up before COB. Whilst this picture isn’t taken from me it is what the venue supply for 3 people and was £75 when you total the per person price. For quality and setting they shouldn’t be charging anymore...

Such delicious food!! I have given this 4 stars instead of 5 only because I feel that they could do a little bit more with the setting while it is not on the bus. The marquee was very tardy and the huge metal water bin, (which we were seated next to) filled with dead plants definitely does not add to having a nice setting while eating an afternoon tea. That aside we had a lovely time celebrating our friend's 50th birthday on Saturday. The food was really delicious, fresh and yummy. We couldn't fault the sandwiches, cakes and scones for their freshness and taste. Everything did taste amazing and helped towards making our dear friend's bday a memorable one for her. The service was good too. I would definitely recommend...

My plan was to have coffee and cake here but I changed my mind about cake when the only options were Sainsbury's Stamford Street chocolate fudge cake or madeira cake. I'm sure the cake is nice enough but when they are charging £4 per slice and you can buy the whole cake in Sainsbury's for £4.69 I thought it was very over priced! I also think the coffee is instant. There's nothing wrong with instant coffee apart from when they charge...
