"I brought someone to Ashford Castle for high tea and it was absolutely class. She loved it.
It's a lovely gift and a great excuse to get dressed up and act like a toff."
And behave like a tramp on a walk round the grounds  |

I have always wanted to bring someone for high tea and never had the opportunity. I've asked a few times but been laughed off as having notions... I've plenty of notions but I don't mind some little sandwiches and macarons first...  |

Notions have their place but not on the table amongst the cake tiers, the potted jams, the delectable scones and the pots of loose leaf teas. You should do High Tea! |

It's quite popular now! I think Bewleys kicked off the trend again a few years ago! Now a lot of higher end hotels do it. Can be €30 to €60 a head! You can get a meal for similar prices. It's a novelty but nice to dress up all the same. |

Ive been to Adare Manor and it was exquisite. I actually love to go again or happily be a plus one.
Okay lll be controversial here.. But its a sure fire way to ascertaining a persons table manners.
Just binged on Bridgerton last night... |

Meh, I'd rather see someone enjoying their food that eating it in the "correct" way. |

"It's more a ladies thing MMcC but sure, I understand your statement, but it's nice to pretend. Don't you have fantasies too! Just roll with this one. "
My fantasies rarely involve table manners, or at least not the kind suggested above

"Girls like to dress up! You don't complain when we dress down do you 
We all agree it's a luxury item but we can argue that for a lot of things. "
I don't consider dressing up to be "table manners"  |

So, no cooling your tea in the saucer, and slurping it? |

We also went for high tea last summer to Adare Manor! It was rather lovely indeed, but switched to bubbly after all the pleasantries were done. Would love to come there for dinner!
