Let’s settle an age-old debate – are you team Devon, spreading your scone with cream first, or do you swear by the Cornish method, where jam leads the way? No matter where your loyalties lie, one thing’s for sure – that a warm, crumbly scone piled high with both is one of the best British treats. Although the Duchess of Bedford would have argued that afternoon tea was merely just a cup of tea paired with a scone or small savoury bite, we quite like the route of this experience has gone down – now a whole event. Afternoon tea has had a serious glow up, with themed teas inspired by everything from books and beloved characters to seasonal holidays, and restaurants pulling out all the stops to make the experience magical. Whether you’re team simple or fancy, we’ve got so many wonderful options for you to peruse when it comes to afternoon tea in Bristol.
