My friends from UK were guests at the Majestic Hotel and we had high tea last Sunday in the Colonial Cafe. We had high expectations given the reputation of this hotel and the many positive reviews. Sad to say, expectations were not up to standards e.g there were no napkins at the table, and we had to request for them. It took a while so the tea and cakes got cold. Some of the sandwich squares had to be returned because the bread was dry. The first pot of tea was not temperature hot and it is likely the tea and sandwiches had been prepared in advance in anticipation of the weekend clientele. The waiter was unfamiliar with the request for skimmed milk for the tea and eventually brought some in a little cup that was not suitable for pouring as it did not have a lip. However, we appreciated the top up of cream and jam for the scones.
