Afternoon Tea.

I am making this post to summarise a lovely evening I had on Thursday with my sister and nephew. We had tea, reminiscent of the teas we used to enjoy with our Paternal Grandmother as children, and played football, reminiscent of when I was younger and could run further!




At our tea we had cheese, ham and corned beef sandwiches, crisps, pickles and chutneys; the scones were replaced with shortbread (kindly supplied by my Mum and Dad) but I am planning some baking for our next tea.


We also had pineapple and cheese on sticks, a teatime or party treat that has always been a favourite of mine, and they bought these beautiful flowers over for the table. A wonderful date of note.

  3. Hey T-Bone! Thanks for the visit, also very good to see you last night. I hope the greenhouse is now standing?

    Hello Anonymous. It did indeed used to be known as High Tea and in fact you can still get High Tea at Harrods or the Ritz.

    High Tea for two at the Ritz will set you back a mere £80.00 and includes:

    Sandwiches:
    Cucumber and dill
    Smoked salmon with lemon butter
    Egg mayonnaise with mustard cress
    Poached turkey and mayonnaise
    Cream cheese and mustard grain
    Roast ham
    Poached salmon and watercress
    Roast beef and horseradish

    Freshly baked scones with home made strawberry jam and clotted cream, afternoon Tea Pastries and Fresh Cream Cakes, Ritz Selected Teas or Coffee

    However you will need to book 6 weeks in advance to avoid disappointment!

    I like to think that my High Tea compares favourably and it certainly requires considerably less notice to arrange!
