Is this verbal irony?

"why on earth then do you allow tea-cake to be served up for your guests? what ideas you have of hospitality!"

Can you guys explain as well why its verbal irony. If its not what kind of ironic device is this?

I don't know the context but the person speaking appears to be using sarcasm which is a form of verbal irony. Hope this helps!
