High tea served in two rounds @ Focaccino

The High tea was served on a plate rather than elegant silverware.

The high tea was served in two parts, the first part was the items on the white dish.
After paying the bill and leaving the restaurant I noticed there should have been panna cotta as well, we notified the chef, she apologised and asked if we wanted takeaway or have it there.
So we I had it there and was given a fresh set of forks, but both were DIRTY with food stuck on it.
Dirty with food still stuck on
Food:
The tea set included: 2 quiches, cheese and salmon sandwich, cheese and ham sandwich, 2 fruit tarts, 2 cheesecakes, 4 mini scones, 2 panna cottas, 2 profiteroles (replaced by sandwiches as they were out of stock).

Quiche: tasted strong in egg with bacon pieces.
Sandwiches: both contained cheddar cheese, the cheese was ok for the ham, however the ham was slightly stringy and fat. For the salmon, I felt the cheese was the wrong type, it should have been cream cheese.
Fruit tarts: diced pineapple, blueberry and strawberry on a tart based filled with chocolate mousse.
Cheesecake: tasted better than expected, not too light or heavy with a hint of lemon and sultana just like the ones you get from M&S in uk.
Scones: Totally not authentic although they did taste like scones, they should have been served with clotted cream and jam, however they were drizzled with strawberry syrup, and not even any cream was served.
Panna Conna: this was the one they forgot to serve, basically it was very creamy and needed the chocolate sauce to support it.
