Anyone?

Sorry to be a bit mumsnet, but it’s urgent.

Equally importantly, is it scone as in Don (Revie) or scone as in stone?

I use the former, my partner is adamant that it should be the latter.

Of course there's also the "Jam or Cream first?" debate to be had (jam, obviously).

Well done, you're wrong on both counts

You're right on the name but not on the order:

Cream is the butter, folks, CREAM IS THE BUTTER!

Have had a cream tea from both MetroDeco in Kemptown and Piglets Pantry and the scones in both were very tasty. Don't know if you can buy them on their own though.

The "best" I'm not sure about but FlourPot Bakery do good ones and have various branches around Brighton and Hove:

Also Gails at the bottom of George Street in Hove do them. Never had a Gail's scone before but generally their products are top notch (with a price to match)

Butter THEN Jam THEN Cream.

The Jam and Cream were due to do some gigs in the west country, but they had to be cancelled as no one could agree who should go on first.

Which is of course the correct answer.

Such a shame that Blackbird is gone from Ship Street.

If you can travel outside Brighton, then without doubt it will be at Steyning tea-rooms. Simply magnificent!

If you’re willing to travel, Middle Farm are the best I know of. You can get clotted cream from their own herd as well [emoji39]

Just make your own, very easy to do

The Ivy in Brighton serves nice scones with their tea menu , I think they make their own .

Stato · Apr 23, 2021

If you're after takeaway, the ones from Canhams sold with cream and fresh strawberries are pretty good, but not as good as their chocolate brownies.

Their brownies are stunning !
