How do you stagger food for afternoon tea say 2.30pm?do you have lunch?

Possibly silliest question ever... But I've not done afternoon tea and have 2 dc in two (over 6).

Do you have large breakfast? Or snack at lunch? Or wait....

Decent breakfast late ish, then snack like a cereal bar 12-12.30 ish. Late tea whenever you fancy it.

I just looked at the lunch menu and it looks nice!

That's weird timing. I'd say afternoon tea is 4pm ish.

But if I had to have it at 2.30pm, I'd have breakfast at about 9am as usual and then a late elevenses around 12.

Can you not just see how it goes? Have breakfast whenever you're ready or whenever it's served, have a snack if you get peckish before 2.30? I really don't think this deserves any more thought at all...

I'd also see how it goes. Have breakfast as late as possible and make sure nice and full. If anyone's really desperate about mid day, have some fruit or a cereal bar and then enjoy afternoon tea at 2.30 pm.

Dinner at the normal time in the evening.

Cherry the menu in conjunction with the lighter snacks is fine but those lighter snacks ie sausage roll is not served at that time

If you’re going at Christmas market time have bratwurst from a stall about 11 & push tea back to 4!

The children’s chocolate afternoon tea was very popular with my girls! Don’t try the pump water either as it’s foul.

I've got an afternoon tea booked next sat for 2.30pm. We'll have a normal breakfast at normal time In the morning, then just have a snack - crisps/chocolate bar/fruit etc about 11/12 or whenever someone feels hungry. You're overthinking it, no one is going to starve!
