I
visited
this
bar
for
a
Cocktail
Afternoon
Tea
for
Two
experience.
Upon
entering
the
bar,
my
partner
and
I
were
greeted
and
shown
to
our
reserved
table
straight
away,
it
was
clear
that
we
were
expected.
We
then
waited
quite
a
while
for
our
drinks
order
to
be
taken
and
our
cocktails
to
be
made,
although
this
wasn’t
too
much
of
an
issue
as
we
knew
they
were
being
made
from
scratch
at
the
bar.
We
had
a
short
wait
for
the
food
to
arrive
also.
When
it
did,
I
was
shocked
at
what
we
had
been
served.
I
have
attached
a
few
photos
as
it
is
hard
to
describe
the
state
of
the
‘sandwiches’
brought
to
us.
The
cheese
sandwiches
were
the
worst,
made
on
the
cheapest
white
bread,
no
butter
or
mayonnaise,
warm
sliced
cheese,
obviously
just
lifted
from
a
packet
with
the
slices
stuck
together.
No
attempt
to
even
create
a
proper
sandwich.
The
others
were
made
on
the
same
bread.
I
took
a
bite
of
the
coronation
chicken
and
found
the
filling
warm,
obviously
not
refrigerated.
I
didn’t
even
want
to
attempt
the
prawn
cocktail
for
risk
of
food
poisoning
to
be
honest!
There
was
absolutely
no
care
paid
to
the
food
served.
The
cakes
were
better
but
clearly
shop
bought,
the
scones
stale
and
the
macaroons
ruined
by
some
sort
of
liquid
on
the
bottom
of
the
plate
(see
photo
attached).
I
understand
that
Revolution
is
more
a
bar
than
a
restaurant
and
there
was
a
lot
of
promotions
for
drinks
rather
than
food.
However,
there
were
other
tables
eating
main
meals
so
there
is
clearly
a
working
kitchen
on
the
premises.
So
why
on
earth
were
the
sandwiches
of
such
an
appalling
standard?
Especially
as
it
was
pre-booked
and
the
staff
were
expecting
us.
The
cocktails
we
ordered
were
nice
but
to
be
honest,
ruined
by
the
overall
experience.
I
feel
this
is
really
disappointing,
especially
as
it
was
bought
for
me
as
a
gift.
I
think
my
colleague
who
purchased
it
would
be
really
upset
that
they
wasted
their
money.
It’s
interesting
to
compare
my
pictures
to
the
afternoon
tea
advertised
on
the
website,
the
difference
is
quite
shocking.
