Where did all the spoons go?

Nice clean comfortable room but no tea spoons so a bit of a challenge to make a cup of tea! We arrived at 8.30pm and they had stopped food. However, they rustled us up a plate of chips :)

Lovely stay at this lovely pub/hotel. Great room and the food was fantastic. Only downside - I am diabetic and asked if I could put a ice block in the hotels freezer for a couple of hours then put back with my insulin, which was refused.
