We dined in style and in a way in which my mother has taught me to do things: on a half price voucher deal (afternoon tea for 2 = £15 reduced from £30)
There were 3 of us, who had eaten nothing since brunch so we ordered 2 afternoon teas which turned out to be a bit over ambitious.
The afternoon tea came with delicate finger sandwiches; egg and cress, smoked salmon and ham and mustard but that was the extent of the savoury.
There were creme brulees and mini trifles, eaton mess, scones, jam and clotted cream and themed Biscuits dipped in chocolate. The picture above shows biscuit shoes, a dress and handbag, The picture below has biscuits in the shape of a bear and a slice of chocolate rocky road cake.
We washed it all down with lashings of early greay tea and soon began to suffer with a sugar head ache due to the very low savoury to sweet ratio!
It was a really nice treat and next time we'll know to order 1 tea between 3 people and stock up on sandwiches or pork pies first! Although it may be a little out of my price range without the voucher their offer is available until October 2010 with a coupon in Explorer magazine.
