Anyone having afternoon tea on Monday?

[consortiar]

If so, what are your items to be included?

We're having

Cheese scones
Fruit scones
Victoria sponge
Another cake to be decided

Some form of sandwich - not sure whether to do crustless or cute mini rolls.

Fillings to be decided and hopefully get some inspiration from this thread.

Prosecco and soft drinks

Yes!

Need to go shopping but planning:
coronation chicken sandwiches
sausage rolls
quiche
Victoria sponge
scones

prosecco

Yes we are.
Ham and tuna sandwiches, scones and clotted cream scones, mini rolls for dc and posh crisps.

No but I am getting in some cake and nice tea bags

I'm sure the Queen would be very disappointed at the flagrant misuse of AIBU.

Is this what people are doing!

We’re having a picnic, sausage rolls and butternut squash soup.

Yes! Just a little one. We've got fruit scones, clotted cream, jam, lemon curd. I'm going to make some sausage rolls. Some nice Rosemary focaccia and I'm probably going to do some tuna and red onion sandwiches.

Was thinking of this. A British cream tea in honour of Her Majesty 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇬🇧

I like this idea!!!

Well I have dd and 3 of her friends round. They want to watch it. I was going to watch alone, but that ship has sailed. They are 18 and would love afternoon tea. So now I am definitely doing that!

Thanks for the idea

Yes!
Scones with clotted cream and jam.
Homemade sausage rolls.
Homemade bread with cheeses and cold cuts and salad.
Sponge cake.
Copious amounts of tea.
Pinky in the air.

Ooh good idea. I'm gonna do this now. Nothing very fancy but just something different.

If I worded it

AIBU to have afternoon tea during the queens funeral?

Do you think she'd approve

Hadn't thought about it but it seems like a good idea!

Nice idea! I like the pp's idea of a picnic even more 😎

Yes a small one.
I’m doing homemade scones, clotted cream and jam and egg/ham/cucumber sandwiches (with crusts cut off). Will also have some nibbles.

Yes! Completely against the monarchy, but doing it for the kids.

We're eating like the queen on Monday so:
Breakfast- Special K (berry variety) with a cuppa
Lunch- Gleneagles Pate with toast and thinly sliced cucumber
Dinner- Gaelic steak with whiskey sauce followed by 'chocolate perfection pie'
(This is what I found according to Google )

Approve with Crown Jewels on!

I'm baking a Victoria sponge and will make cucumber sandwiches - just for me though, no one else wants to play

I will be watching on my own, and am going to buy some cake.

We are but a heads up to anyone not shopped yet, our Sainsburys we’re out of every type of cream this morning. Got some in Tesco express but not much left there either.

There was a woman trying to buy Dubonnet in Waitrose today 😂 bet that was for Monday

I sent my brother who lives opposite to Waitrose for dubonnet. He came back with a puppy

Thanks for this; great idea!

Yes. DD is having afternoon tea with her friends and planning a lot of baking over the weekend. They're all contributing so we're making scones and a chocolate biscuit bake (apparently the Queen's favourite).
