What time to drink afternoon tea?
Afternoon tea is a light meal typically eaten between 3:30 pm and 5 pm. Traditionally it consisted of thinly sliced bread and butter, delicate sandwiches (customarily cucumber sandwiches or egg and cress sandwiches) and usually cakes and pastries (such as Battenberg cake or Victoria sponge). And in a nutshell, ‘high tea’ is not the same as the afternoon tea that we now all know and love. It consists of a more substantial meal served at the dinner table and eaten later in the day.
Do you drink alcohol at afternoon tea?
Afternoon tea is typically not intended to be a heavily alcoholic occasion, so it is important to gauge the situation and if you see that only one glass of champagne is being served to each guest, kindly refrain from asking for more. traditional afternoon tea is priced from £95 per person, champagne afternoon tea is priced from £110 per person, and rosé champagne afternoon tea is priced from £125 per person. Seasonal afternoon tea is priced from £125 per person.
