High tea @ Q Tearoom, St Agnes

I recently phoned Q Tearoom looking to book an afternoon tea for that day. They said they usually need 24 hour notice but were very accommodating and could organise something. Later in the afternoon they put on this lovely spread.

Everything was so fresh and garnished with delicious fruit. The Baker Tom scones were huge and lovely too.
The tearoom was very quaint, as you would expect, but what really shone through was the staff. I couldn't fault the whole experience, this is great for a spot of lunch or sweet treat.

Afternoon Tea @ The Lane, Deal

This afternoon tea at The Lane is definitely one of the best I've had. The interesting mix of sweet and savouries were different to a standard tea. Mini brioche buns filled with pulled pork and slaw were fantastic! All treats shown in the photo above were for one person so at £14.50 it was good value for money. Overall, I was really impressed at this modern take on a traditional tea and if you can't manage it all staff are happy to box up the leftovers!

I will definitely be back to sample the cocktails and amazing-looking cakes on offer!

Afternoon Tea @ Fistral Beach Hotel, Newquay, Cornwall

I was very impressed with Fistral Beach Hotel's afternoon tea. It was good value for money and it came with lots of fresh fruit. The staff were lovely and were very accommodating. The dining room also has a stunning view over Fistral beach. It was very relaxing, enjoying the tasty treats whilst watching the waves roll in. I would definitely recommend trying this one!

Christmas Afternoon Tea @ The Capital Hotel, London

 I booked this special treat as part of my friend's hen party. It was a very sophisticated affair. The staff at The Capital welcomed us, taking our coats and showing us to the bar. They provided some swanky nibbles as we perused the cocktail menu. My Polish apple martini was stunning.

There was an array of interesting sandwiches provided with the tea. The matcha tea bread was a bit lost on me, but the others were delicious. The festive sweet treats were intricate with some unusual flavour combinations. The pantone and marmalade macaroon was my favourite. You cant go too wrong with scones, clotted cream and jam.

Overall, the food wasn't the best I've had in an afternoon tea but I think the whole experience was worth while, we all felt spoilt!

Afternoon Tea @ The Scarlet, Mawgan Porth, Cornwall

I had heard a great deal about the luxury, adult only, eco hotel. The Scarlet certainly does offer luxury spa and dining experiences for guests. Set in a truly stunning location above Mawgan Porth bay, you can pay for a day spas or longer overnight stays in the romantic setting. I took my beautiful mum for a champagne afternoon tea and the whole experience left both of us feeling very spoilt.

For £37, we received a range of finger sandwiches and sweet treats along with a glass of champagne. Granted it is not cheap and the portions aren't huge, however the setting and overall experience is priceless. The staff were more than helpful making the tea surpass my expectations.

This was a lovely afternoon and great for a special treat.

Bessie's Tea Parlour, Broadstairs. Kent

I had a beautiful afternoon tea yesterday with two of my best friends. Bessie's is a quaint, little tea parlour in the seaside town of Broadstairs. It offers an eclectic range of teas to go with the cakes and sandwiches available. I recommend the vanilla chai!
We paid £14 for endless tea and this beautiful spread. It consisted of finger sandwiches, cinnamon chai cake, bakewell tart, cheesecake brownies and scones with clotted cream and jam. The parlour had a lovely atmosphere created by the attention to detail, such as vintage china, bunting and nostalgic music.

Overall, great food in a lovely, little place by the sea. What's not to like!?

BB Bakery Afternoon Tea Bus Tour, London

I had such a great afternoon the other day aboard BB bakery's afternoon tea bus tour. My friends and I were served a range of mini sandwiches, pastries and cakes with a scone, jam and clotted cream to finish. All of which were so tasty. Every little detail was very well thought out. The staff were really helpful and were always on hand to provide unlimited hot and cold drinks. We had ninety minutes to devour the tea as the bus travelled round numerous London landmarks such as Big Ben and the Natual History Museum. We were even given a perfect box to take home any food that we couldn't finish, along with a BB travel mug. 

All in all, well worth the £45 each we paid. It was a lovely experience.

Strong Adolfos near Wadebridge, Cornwall

I've visited this café a couple of times. This picture shows a cranberry scone I had recently. It was served with lemon curd and clotted cream. They serve a number of bakes that change daily, and once they're gone, they're gone.  Daily lunch specials are also available that change regularly. It's fairly expensive, however good for a rainy day where you want to warm up with a nice cup of tea or coffee.

Bone China, Truro, Cornwall

I went with my beautiful mum to this vintage cocktail café in Truro. The attention to detail in this place is perfect, great for afternoon tea. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and everything was freshly prepared.

Mama Feelgoods, Quex Park, Kent

My lovely friends and I went to this boutique cafe in the stunning grounds of Quex Park in Birchington, Kent. We paid £15 for afternoon tea, it was delicious. It included four different finger sandwiches, savoury pastries, mini meringues, macaroons, lemon possets and a big scone with cream and jam. There was also endless tea. I'd say it was worth the money, I was stuffed!
