Mad Hatter's Tea Room - Central Elgin

We went in feeling good about supporting a local small business and left feeling ripped off. Firstly the menu - terms THEY understand but not clear to a

Great family owned placeVery friendly serviceI wanted to try all 3 meats and although the platter only included 2, the guy made it happen.

I didn't take pics! Brain said "put this on the record Kiddo"Stomach growled "Shut up, I'm starving!" and bullied Brain into quiet.

I have only been there once for lunch just a quick sandwich and it was very tasty.small quaint little place.

I purchased two dealfind vouchers for $19.00 each (120.00 value...supposedly). My boyfriend and I made a 1:00 reservation with our Mums so we could introduce them to each other. Our Mums are from England and Wales, and we thought going for high tea would be a perfect place for their first time meeting. Unfortunately, the Mums were unable to meet us. They were driving from an hour north of london...2 hours from orwell, ont. My boyfriend and I went by ourselves, an hour late due to waiting for the Mums. When we arrived, there were two people having tea and the rest of the building, antique shop and property was DEAD. The man greeted us and said "oh, I'm sorry we gave your reservation away". I waited for a moment as I thought this was a joke. It wasn't! He said "we can make you a pot of tea or a little snack". Seriously???? I paid for what should be a claimed $120.00 experience to receive a cup of tea and snack at an extra expense?? They couldn't put some of there store bought cookies on a tray with scones and cream? Very merry unwelcoming to us! What a waste of a drive from London. I will never return not recommend this place to anyone! Now I will try for a dealfind refund or simply delete the vouchers. What a scam!
