After asking if Lady Scarletts Tea Parlour was up for a challenge, I can absolutely say Tony, Ange, their daughter & young staff team are awesome & they most certainly delivered. From initial e mails to arrival at Ventnor Seafront, they pulled off the most fantastic Afternoon Tea for 7 including one vegetarian; one vegetarian Coeliac; one takeaway & 4 'normal'. The sandwiches were inspiring: cucumber & fresh mint leaves; guacomole & pepper; egg mayo; tuna mayo; smoked salmon & cream cheese; cheese & tomato; ham; ham & coleslaw and peppered mackerel. All were fresh & delicious. Then came fresh homemade fruit scones, clotted cream & jam followed by a fabulous collection of cake bites. Washed down with copious amounts of hot tea, in bone china from teapots with tea cosies. This was a perfect family Afternoon Tea, presented beautifully by Tony & Ange. In Mums 80th year, this was the most wonderful family time and the memory of today with stay with us forever. Thank you so so much.
