Disappointing effort all round, old chaps. At first we thought perhaps one of us had gotten a dud, but unfortunately all three tasters came to the same conclusion with this one. (In fact one of us, who shall remain nameless, strongly considered rigging up a flambé torch from oh, say, a cigarette lighter and a perfume atomiser, and burning the hell out of the caramel topping. Or the chef's recipe book.)
Meagre layer of lacklustre, thin cream - the kind of custard that has lost it's will to live and can only languish, pale and embarrassed, beneath a similiarly unimpressive caramel layer hoping you won't notice it so it can die in peace. For the price you would be better off with four whiskies.
Verdict: Unless this is the last crème brûlée for 100 miles (it isn't), stick to a stiff drink and a saunter around the photography exhibitions next door.
