I love Afternoon tea & I know loads of you guys do too so I thought that I would share my most recent Afternoon tea experience with you.
We went to a place called Suffolk food hall that has a cafe, farm shop, garden centre & restaurant on site (amongst other things!) There’s lots going on there but it’s a lovely place.
The decoration in the restaurant is lovely, it’s nice & bright. I love the white wood painted ceilings, Sandy brick walls & restored beams.
The view outside the large windows is so lovely too! You look out onto the River Orwell & the cow fields too.
Here’s what we had for Afternoon tea…
Bottom tier:
- Mini brown roll with Ham & mustard
- Mini granary/seeded roll with smoked salmon & cream cheese
- Mini white roll with cheese & pickle
- Mini cheese & leek tartlet
- Sausage roll
Middle tier:
- Large Fruit scone with clotted cream & raspberry jam
- Carrot cake slice with cream cheese frosting.
Top tier:
- Mini chocolate & caramel shortbread
- White chocolate chip cookie
- Mini shortbread
& of course lots of English breakfast tea.
My mum doesn’t like chocolate so she was given a shortbread, however, she does eat white chocolate so I gave her my white choc chip cookie and I had her plain shortbread as I LOVE shortbread.
Me & mum both work at the same After school club and we arranged this afternoon tea for our friend (who also used to work at the after school club) as it was her 30th Birthday this year! We had a lovely time π
I really enjoyed this afternoon tea as it was a bit different to the last one I had (check them out here: Patisserie Valerie ) as the cakes/biscuits were different & really tasty! I especially enjoyed the chocolate & caramel shortbread, it was literally melt in the mouth π
The only thing I feel could have been improved was having a variety of breads for the savoury section instead of all rolls & a little bit more filling in these.
Cost: Β£14.50 each & bookable in advance.
I hope you’ve found this useful π
Until next time,
