Dulwich Park Pavilion Cafe






Name: Dulwich Park Pavilion Cafe
Address: Dulwich Park, just off College Road, Dulwich, London, SE21 7BQ
Price: £3 for one scone, jam, cream and butter, cups of tea were £1.40 each

Review: Set within the leafiness of Dulwich Park, throbbing with yummy mummies and faddy daddies, Dulwich Park Pavilion Cafe is a welcome sight for the weary. However, be sure to take a wad of cash, as each scone costs a whopping £3. Must be the Dulwich tax.

The scones were rather large, so Jim and I split one, and slathered it with butter (a dollop served on the plate), strawberry jam (again, just a dollop on the plate) and the clotted cream (yet another dollop on the plate). The cream was good, had the crusty bits, however we weren't so fond of the presentation, nor the tea mugs which probably came from IKEA. The tea was just your average PG Tips fare, and you had to pour the milk yourself from a bench encrusted with sugar.
Scones out of ten: six, as whilst the surroundings were lovely, and the cream teas were tasty, the price was over the top, and the cups of tea were of building-site quality.
