What Your Afternoon Tea Class Will Include
The afternoon tea class includes a ‘mini’ house tour of this detached Victorian 1860’s house. You will receive step-by-step instructions and recipes for making scones, shortbread and speciality sandwiches.
You will also receive a written reminder of what you have learned.
After the baking and preparations you will sit down and enjoy a full afternoon tea in the sitting room (or drawing room) – see menu below. This is an ideal opportunity to practice English etiquette and conversation in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
The fee is sixty pounds. Come with a good appetite! I will also provide a “doggy bag”* for you to take home. *(a popular expression for samples to take home).
