The idea of sitting down during a busy day (or one of total relaxation, there's no judgement here), to enjoy a tasty stack of finger sandwiches and sweet treats, sounds like a dream to us. Some of the more fancy afternoon teas for two will come with a glass of fizz, or maybe even a cocktail – if you’re visiting somewhere a bit more modern. But it doesn’t have to be all grandeur. If you just want to dip your toes into the world of afternoon tea, and get something a bit smaller, consider booking high tea, or a cream tea experience, where the focus lies more on the scones and a good old pot of tea. Call us traditionalists, but we too, think that most of the appeal around an afternoon tea lies with a solid buttery, crumbly scone.
