The best restaurants serving British food in Staplehurst Maidstone South East

We thought we would try Frankie’s and drove all the way from Woodchurch. We ordered two lattes mine was decaf and “Two mixed spice and cranberry warm scones with lemon curd and clotted cream.” as described on the cake board that we were shown. Sounded wonderful! We received our coffees, mine was tepid so I went to the counter returned it and asked for it to be HOT. The coffee came and was ok. Then the scones were bought over, together with what had been described on the cake board as “clotted cream.” The scones were like two bricks, stone cold, no lemon curd ! So again I went back to the counter and told the lady. She came over and took them back. A little while later she returned with the scones and “lemon curd.” I asked her if they had been warmed and was told yes. We found them to be slightly warm and easier to cut into, unlike the two bricks we received before. However the so called lemon curd was yellow runny custard like liquid and barely noticeably orange!! The so called clotted cream was in a little pot and was quite obviously the squirty cream you buy in cans. It was airy and sweet. I know what clotted cream looks like, it has a completely different texture and has no added sweetener. I have to say our first experience of this place will be our one and only. We won’t return and it was a waste of petrol and our time.
