Friends are coming next week and I'd like to do afternoon tea for them. We will be having lunch in arestaurant, so tea won't need to be huge, or too much fuss but I would like it to be impressive with as little effort as possible. It will need to be v quick and easy or easily prepared/bought in advance. We will be 4 adults and 5 children.
So far I've thought of:
Egg and watercress brown bread sarnies (because most of the children will eat these);
Salmon and cucumber sarnies (because all adults bar me will eat these);
Scones with fresh strawberries and cream;
Pots of Earl Grey;
Homemade ginger beer.
What else do you think would go, would make them all think "ooh lovely" and will make me look like a goddess without having to lift much more than a pinny?!
