Afternoon Tea How To

Serving Sandwiches at Afternoon Tea

Cut sandwiches into dainty sizes with crusts off. Allow for at least 3 servings per person and with a choice of 3-4 filings on a mixture of brown and white bread.

Traditional sandwich fillings include:

cucumber;
egg mayonnaise with cress;
smoked salmon with cream cheese;
Coronation chicken (served at The Savoy, Claridge's and several noted establishments, also a deli/supermarket favourite)
ham and mustard.

The order of consumption is sandwiches (also sometimes served with small bite size savouries such as mini quiche, tartlets, mousse, pork pie etc) followed by scones and finally the cakes/sweets.

If presenting on a three tiered tray, in graduating order from bottom to top is sandwiches, scones then cakes. Sometimes the scones are presented on the smaller top tier and wrapped in a linen cloth to keep warm.

Scones may be offered with the choice of plain or fruit and should not be presented already assembled, serve warm with pots of clotted cream and strawberry jam.

There should be an assortment of at least two cakes, avoid large chunky portions.

A cream tea consists of only tea and scones. Afternoon tea includes the full three courses of sandwiches, scones and cakes. A Royal tea is afternoon tea served with champagne.

A tip from Mary Berry
The sandwiches can be made the night before, or in the morning before an afternoon event. Butter the bread, fill and stack no more than six sandwiches on top of each other. Put them, uncut, on large trays, cover completely with cling film, then a damp tea towel. Transfer to the fridge. No more than 2 hours before serving, trim the crusts from the bread using a very sharp knife, then cut each sandwich into either 4 triangles or 4 domino (finger) shapes.

Additional tip
If catering for large numbers, stack sandwiches in finger or domino shape, it's easier to arrange and doesn't squash with the weight.

A relation of the Negroni. Mix four parts prosecco, one part sweet vermouth (such as Martini Bianco) and one part Campari. Serve with a twist of orange zest.

🍾 4. Prosecco pomander
Combine the juice of one clementine with one part Cointreau and three parts prosecco in a champagne glass or tumbler. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and a slice of clementine studded with cloves.

Thanks to my absolute favorite Mixologist we have our adult Halloween potion ready. 🕯☽☾🔮🖤
Today is the spookiest time of the year, and we have Ireland to thank for it!
Halloween, as we know it today, is derived from Samhain, the Gaelic celebration marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the cold winter. The best place in Ireland for Halloween is Derry as it is famous for one of the greatest Halloween celebrations in the world, and makes a great addition to your travel wishlist.
Maybe next year join in on the excitement in person? We've got a list of tours that will visit Derry during October 2023. Plus a SCARY great promotion that ends tonight.
Happy Halloween! & Cheers 🍸

Food in Hawaii is a combination of American, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and other immigrants of the 19th and 20th centuries. Its food actively represents geography, history, and traditional beliefs of its settlers. Plantation workers and later on surfers wanted something nutritious as the main meal of the day which led to the now famous "lunch plate."
Eventually, Spam became a signature food in Hawaii when American servicemen came to inhabit the area.
I'm sure you are craving for Hawaiian food now! I'd love to help you plan your trip so be sure to pick up the phone and call me or send me a Dm, or email when you're ready to start planning.
