点评:Vineyard picnic!
Sounds idyllic and it should have been.
The sun was shining and the family gathered for a meet up, with a view of Sussex countryside at it best.
Our hamper basket wasn't ready on time to collect , yet a half hour window of pre-booked time is allocated for collection. We were directed around the building to follow a path to the picnic area.
In reality it was a grassy uneven sloped route down to hard wooden picnic tables . Not even desperate from people having a drink from the kiosk as anyone could walk down and sit in wooden sun chairs. Not suitable for picnic group.
Nothing special, no cushions or anything to create a feeling of luxury.
The hamper was opened to reveal per person. A panini filled with a chicken/ bacon mayo mixture. No green leaves or crunchy. Little flavour and just soft. Everyone of the group was disappointed with this start and some didn't bother to finish theirs. The next delve revealed a sausage roll, which was delicious. A waxy box of coleslaw was an odd addition and not one for everyone. A glass tub of crackers and some chutney were crunchy and tasty but not enough to go around amongst us all.
The glass kilner of cheesecake was divine as everyone still hungry.
The description say's sandwiches plural but every thing was singular and very small portions apart from panini roll which wasn't popular with anyone.
All very disappointed as supposed to be a special occasion.
The views and weather were superb. The picnic immensely disappointing and expensive for such poor imaginative food.
翻译:葡萄园野餐!
听起来很美好,本来也应该如此。
阳光明媚,一家人聚在一起,欣赏着苏塞克斯郡乡村的绝美景色。
我们预订的野餐篮没有按时准备好,尽管预订时预留了半小时的领取时间。我们被指引着绕着建筑走,沿着一条小路前往野餐区。
实际上,那是一条长满草、坡度不平的小路,通往几张硬邦邦的木制野餐桌。即使有人在小卖部买饮料,也不用担心,因为任何人都可以走下去,坐在木制躺椅上。这根本不适合野餐团体。
没什么特别的,没有靠垫,也没有任何能营造奢华感的东西。
打开野餐篮,里面是每人一份帕尼尼,里面夹着鸡肉培根蛋黄酱。没有绿叶蔬菜,也没有脆脆的配料。味道寡淡,口感软绵绵的。每个人都对这样的开胃菜感到失望,有些人甚至懒得吃完。接下来发现的是香肠卷,味道不错。一盒蜡质凉拌卷心菜沙拉显得有些突兀,而且并非人人都能接受。一小盒饼干和一些酸辣酱酥脆可口,但分量不够我们所有人享用。
一小盒芝士蛋糕美味极了,因为大家都还饿着肚子。
菜单上写的是“三明治”,但除了帕尼尼卷之外,其他都是单份的,而且分量都很小,帕尼尼卷似乎也不受大家欢迎。
大家都非常失望,因为这本来应该是一个特别的场合。
景色和天气都很棒。但这次野餐令人极其失望,食物如此缺乏创意,价格却如此昂贵。
