Carrot meringues served on a bed of pea shoots, homemade ‘Strawberries and Cream’ marshmallow mushrooms, ‘Tick Tock’ traditional Victoria sponge, melting mango cheesecake, matcha green tea and white chocolate mousse served in dark chocolate tea cups, ‘Drink Me’ potion, jelly wonderland, a selection of homemade savoury and sweet scones served with herb butter, fruit preserves, and clotted cream, smoked Cumbrian ham with wholegrain mustard on sundried tomato bread, salmon with lemon butter on rye, pancetta and gruyere quiche, cucumber and chive cream cheese on spinach bread, watercress with smoked sea salt on lemon bread, Laurent-Perrier champagne, and – of course – plenty of tea.
This is the funnest tea I have ever had and was every bit as tasty as it looked. Even my husband loved it, which is a huge accolade considering the difficulty I had convincing him to accompany me to afternoon tea in the first place. It is located inside the stylish Sanderson Hotel in London’s West End, which is itself worth a visit. A great place to while away the hours eating and drinking, which is what I like to do best.
