My absolute perfect 3tier stand would be:

(1) Bottom tier:Finger sandwiches

(cut PERFECTLY equally)

With:

(1) Red Salmon & cucumber,

Egg Mayonnaise & Cress & Prawn Marie

Rose ALL on Wholemeal Hovis

& (2)Carved Ham Off the bone

(2) Middle tier:

Home~made Coconut & Raspberry

tartlets and Victoria Sandwich

(3) Top tier: Mini Sherry Trifles in

glasses and "of course" Jam &

Cream home~made SULTANA Scones

(Cream on top)

With a pot of "Yorkshire" OR" Ringtons" Tea in a china Tea~pot,mashed for exactly 5 minutes & served in china Cups & saucers ~ absolute bliss !!!

There’s a place in Blackburn that does incredible afternoon tea. Been there twice and come away with a doggy bag both times.

This sounds perfect for me except I'd swap the coconut and raspberry for Bakewell tartlets.

We had afternoon tea at York races last week.

Mini steak pies, this gorgeous tiny pizza type things, the sandwiches were great but the cakes were lovely

Plus it was £18 for both of us, which is stupidly cheap for where it was.

Somewhere nearby

Afternoon tea is my most favourite thing ever. I love going out for it. It’s like sport for me and my mum. When I was pregnant and she came to stay for 5 days we went to a different place for it each day!

Bottom layer - finger sandwiches on thick white bread with proper roast beef, homemade honey roast ham and pickle, and good cheese

Middle layer - freshly baked scones (plain) with raspberry jam and clotted cream

Top layer - mini strawberry tarts, proper caramel shortbread, mini Victoria sponge, some sort of panna cotta type thing in a shot glass and some sort of chocolate delice cakey thing.

And earl grey tea. And prosecco.
