It's gone the same way as cupcakes and "shabby chic" hasn't it?
Afternoon Tea used to be naice.. It's used to be treat but now the world and his wife has jumped on the decking bandwagon.. It's a total rip off and is usually toss
For example.. Hotel today. Country type place, not uber posh but nice.
2 fingers of cheese and pickle sandwiches and 2 fingers of egg.
A one bite sized plain scone
A piece of dry ginger cake
2 petite four sized pieces of short bread.
£20
This is not afternoon tea. It's piss.
It seems that every fecking cafe/bar/hotel now serves afternoon tea to fill the void space between lunch and dinner. £20 for 2 slices of bread, a scone and a piece of cake... You just wouldn't would you? Well no, not if it was served on a plate... But hey stick it on a fancy tiered cake stand and you can charge what you like.
Robbing bastards.
never again
