This Afternoon tea is exceptionally good value. We placed the order with ease and our table was reserved at the British Museum between 3.00pm and 5.00pm. The table was very pretty with clasically designed tableware. A choice of tea or coffee, and choices within each type. I had Earl Grey with Lemon. My husband had Japanese green tea. Mixed finger sandwiches: Smoked Salmon and cream cheese, ham and salad, egg and cress and Coronation chicken, but alternatives were offered. Two sorts of scones each, light and fluffy, with high quality clotted cream and Tiptree jam. Topped on the top tier of the cake stand with macaroons, mini carrot cake, mini chocolate muffins and a tiny and so pretty mini cheese cake with a light mousse filling and blueberries and blackberries on top. A perfect amount for an Afternoon Tea, and the tea pots were refreshed. Service was attentive and accurate. Lovely surrounding and a real change from Hotel teas. Highly recommended.
