High Tea!

For The Love Of High Tea!

High tea: A meal eaten in the late afternoon or early evening, typically consisting of a cooked dish, bread and butter, and tea.

High tea usually consists of a selection of scones, cream & jam, lovely cakes, finger sandwiches and savoury treats served with a pot of tea and/or a glass of champagne, if you please.
