Opinion

 

The sandwiches, scones and pastries scored 10/10.  All freshly made.

My favourite sandwiches.

Salmon on beetroot bread and Coronation Chicken with toasted almonds.

 

The scones were beautifully light and delicious.

 

Pastries

Raspberry Mousse Starlet for starters...a delicious tartlet with a raspberry mousse filling

The Earl Grey & Chocolate Orange Crown Jewels...A wonderful light fluffy mousse with a chocolate sponge, what a delicious creation!

Peach Mousse...A delicious light fluffy peach mousse with a slice of peach surprise inside... yummy!

A mouth-watering experience from start to finish, one of the best afternoon teas in London.
