Afternoon Tea Classes

Tuesdays, 10 am – 1 pm

£90 per person

What your Afternoon Tea Class will include:

As part of the Afternoon Tea Class, you will learn how to make speciality sandwiches and sumptuous Devonshire Scones, which will be served warm, straight from the oven.

You will also learn about the history of Afternoon Tea, tea making, tea pouring and presentation.

After the baking and preparations in the kitchen, we sit down and enjoy a full Afternoon Tea in the sitting room/drawing room – see menu below. This is an ideal opportunity to practice English etiquette and conversation in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

You will receive a six page booklet with step by step instructions on how to prepare the sandwiches and scones and also the Scottish Shortbread, which is another of the popular treats served in the drawing room/sitting room.

The booklet will also include a reminder page of special ‘tips’ offered throughout the class.

I will also provide a doggy bag* for you to take home. *(a popular expression for samples to take home).

Come with a good appetite!
