They say you get a selection of sandwiches for your afternoon tea, but it's actually just one type…read moreof sandwich filling. I guess by selection they mean, you get to select one. Someone needs to donate these people a dictionary. But, the coronation chicken was very good, but I don't necessarily want to eat six pieces tasting the same. The tea is PG tips tea bags. When you go for afternoon tea, most people expect better than just supermarket teabags. This is why they charge only £15. The afternoon tea also comes with crisps, not very traditional, but I can hardly say no to crisps. the scones were ok, slightly dry. Service wasn't particularly friendly, asked a question and was told "what I just told you" in response. Should have paid more for a proper tea room experience in one of the hotels facing the beach. The location is pretty good though, literally on the pier and open waters anywhere you look.

Contrary to other reviews, I believe this place is amazing! I visit here every half term with my…read morenan and sister as a tradition, always buying a Lemon and Poppy Seed Muffin and Juice for myself. The prices are moderate, with some excellent deals. To add, we only stop here for a small snack on a long seafront walk, but the service is always excellent. Out the back, there is The Pavilion, which includes exhibits which change as the year goes by. When we went, there was an Animazing exhibit on, with fun activities for children, even including a professional newsroom green screen! The staff here are always very polite, serving a huge range of food. There is indoor and outdoor seating, with a dog water bowl as well. It overlooks a green with a memorial on it, but you can see the sea. It is always bright and lovely when I go in there. I would recommend this to anyone. Well done Pavilion Tea Rooms!

Favoloso Cafe - Great place for an ice cream stop

We have been regular customers of Favo'Loso for over 10 years. Our last meal experience was so…read moredisastrous that we decided to never eat at that restaurant again. On Friday 25 July, like I had many times before, I ordered fish and chips, but this time the fish I was served smelled off, giving an abnormal oversalty stench. Upon returned the fish - which in my opinion was unsafe to eat - the manager came to our table to assure me the fish was 'fresh from the morning'. He proceeded to dismiss my claim by telling me that the reason that fish smelled different was because 'it is not frozen fish', thereby arrogantly insinuating that I was unfamiliar with fresh fish. As for this condescending theory, I would like to point out that I was born and grew up by the sea and have had more fresh fish in my life than most people. As such, I believe I am more than competent to distinguish a fresh fish from one gone bad. I am a kind and forgiving customer, but I certainly do not appreciate being gaslighted in such a blatant manner. I understand food can sometimes go off, but it certainly should not be served to customers, and if it is returned, it should be checked thoroughly. Instead of taking the matter personally, the manager should have apologised (which he didn't), properly checked the food returned (which I guarantee he did not either, unless he is the one who never had fresh fish in his life (sic!) - and offered a replacement. Instead, he saw fit to raise his voice so as to be heard by the surrounding tables and told me he didn't see what he could do about it. Really? I am also writing this review to serve as a legal anchor in case someone was served the same 'fresh' fish on or around that day and has had symptoms of indigestion - or, god forbid, worse. Last but not least, and for reference: according to Live Science, a strong, fishy or "salty" smell in fish can be a sign of bacterial growth and spoilage, indicating that the fish is no longer safe to eat. As fish begins to spoil, bacteria break down natural compounds like trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) into trimethylamine (TMA), which is responsible for the characteristic "fishy" or ammonia-like odor. That is exactly the fish I was served.

If I had to describe this place in one word, it'd be: retro! It's like someone opened a chintzy…read morecoffee house in the 1940s, kept it clean and shiny and just... never changed it. It's good though. Not gourmet, but a massive selection of pastries, snacks and drinks. I got a vanilla milkshake and it was a proper one - made with ice cream and really delicious. Followed it up with a coffee which was decent too, and everything's very reasonably priced. It's counter service, but since it was quiet they brought everything over for us which was nice. All in all, nothing spectacular, but definitely worth a visit if you're hungry or thirsty - and it's near the seafront too.
