Edgbaston House

Edgbaston Birmingham|2.22km from University
I came with some friends, this was a special occasion, a celebration and final get together for one of the group who is expecting a baby. We were all really looking forward to it, but I was really disappointed with the quality of the food and, at £30, thought it was incredibly bad value. I would have felt this way even if it hadn't been an important event for the group, but this really added to the disappointment.  I was particularly looking forward to the savouries, but there were two tiny sandwiches and a tiny pastry with some chickpeas on it. One of the sandwiches was cheese, which honestly had a piece of cheese in it that was about 1cm squared and the size of a biscotti and the other, smoked salmon, had barely anything else in it. Also, the bread was not fresh. In terms of the sweets, the biggest cake, the lemon drizzle, was genuinely stale and the use of what can only be perceived as pre-packaged puddings in clear plastic containers seemed cheap and chinsy (not to mention wasteful).  Sadly, the warm, tasty scones are all I can reflect positively on with regards to the food.  Having looked at the Time Out website and seeing The Edgbaston was number one, the picture and description differed a lot from what we experienced.  I love eating out and feel that both the quality and value here was really below par; especially when I consider what I could get elsewhere for £30. I have had afternoon teas in many other places and this has been the worst, and the most expensive. Two of the party had the veggie option and they had a slightly bigger sandwich, which seems an unnecessary inconsistency. Finally, the service was also a bit slow and we often had to go and look for staff. I appreciate there are some circumstances in the current climate which means these things are perhaps outside of their control, but the quality of the food was inexcusable in relation to the high cost. I have emailed the Edgbaston regarding this (basically this review) and have not received a response, even after chasing it.
