It’s not truly afternoon tea without three full tiers of goodies, and this box of treats is the outright winner. It was the only afternoon tea delivery that included sandwiches – a risky move as it’s not easy to keep them fresh – yet they were very tasty eaten on the day they arrived. In total there were ten finger sandwiches made of classic fillings including smoked salmon and cream cheese, honey roast ham, chicken and baby spinach (our favourite) and egg mayonnaise with mustard cress.
As if that wasn’t enough, the all-recyclable boxes included two pork and caramelised onion sausage rolls, two pork and chorizo sausage rolls, two pork and stilton sausage rolls and four sundried tomato quiche slices (vegan and vegetarian teas are also available). Though portions are dainty, there’s so much food overall, we found this easily served three, if not four – although there are only two sultana scones included so you’ll be fighting over those.
There’s also clotted cream, Tiptree strawberry jam, carrot cake, lemon drizzle and chocolate brownies for a real special occasion blow-out. We especially liked the printed menu card and the fact three different teas – English breakfast, Darjeeling and Earl Grey – are included from Tea Makers of London so we could really feel like we were dining out in a fancy hotel. This would be a real treat for anyone to receive – just make sure they’re home on the day of delivery to enjoy those sandwiches at their best.
