Afternoon Tea and Cake or Scones

I like scones AND cake when I am
having a proper afternoon tea.
When it comes to Betty's, it has to be a fat rascal, when I would forgo the scone.
Proper leaf tea with a strainer on a silver stand.

Anything gluten free that isn't a brownie - gf is always a brownie!

Agree about the tea Ann.

You can't beat a real Cornish cream tea in my opinion.

Failing that, a custard tart or custard slice.
I've never managed to actually go in a Betty's Mick. Whenever I 've been near one people have been queuing out the door and along the street

Have managed Harrogate and Otley in the past, like you say queuing is a problem , but Harrogate does offer similar places if you look.

Carrot Cake is my favourite but I had a very nice courgette one at Peterborough Cathedral the other day- really craving a very gooey chocolate one at the moment. I took a piece of chocolate cake at an event last weekend but it was very dry so I left it. Waste of calories

We Ince stopped at somewhere that did gf custard tarts, nina, which are my favourite. I had 2 in case I never saw one again. I haven't!

We once stopped! I corrected that before I posted!!!!!

At the moment, my favourite is those little Portuguese custard tarts, with a good pot of tea. One is not enough, and two would be piggy.

Pastel de Nata, Auntiflo. My favourite too.

You can't go past a Yorkshire curd tart, delicious. I'm not big on sponge cake or doughnuts but I do enjoy a good fruit scone with butter and jam, I'm not bothered about the cream.

Scone, jam and cream, as long as the gf scone doesn’t break a toe if dropped. Otherwise gf carrot cake and I love a brownie. Proper tea with tea leaves and a china cup. Lovely.

Nice strong coffee for me please and a freshly baked scone with lots of jam and fresh cream..............(and a few indigestion tablets on the side!!!)

Whilst if making any pavlova at all, I hope you put a large placard outside.......... for I am VERY partial to some!
I would positively hate missing out.

I love Yorkshire curd tarts as well hilda no cream for me either, scone & jam with carrot or ginger cake - yummy.

Coffee and walnut is my favourite. Wouldn't say no to anything chocolate or a proper cream tea.

I’m with HildajenniJ. Yorkshire curd tart is truly delicious! I also have a weakness, though, for Portuguese custard tarts. They do lovely ones at Browns cafe in Oxford market. Or fruit cake with Wensleydale cheese, and a cup of Earl Grey.

Coffee and walnut for me too. Or when appropriate parkin

Coffee and walnut, Victoria sponge with home-made raspberry jam (no buttercream, thank you), plain scones with home-made strawberry jam and clotted cream and a custard tart (Portuguese ones sound lovely).
Followed by a chocolate éclair

A pot of tea - no sugar and semi-skimmed milk please, as I am on a diet.

My mum used to make a lovely parkin, haven't had any for years, could I take a piece home please?

Thank you Michael, very enjoyable.

Strong coffee (filter or Americano)
With coffee cake or ....

Ginger and lemon tea with lemon drizzle cake or ginger cake

In winter hot chocolate with chocolate cake

I like to double up on my flavours

or?

This is virtual Cherrytree!

I think I'll add a piece of cherry and almond cake to my order please.

I think we are discussing apples and pears here.
I was on a full blown afternoon tea with cucumber sandwiches , possibly smoked salmon, followed by scones then cake.
The sort that costs £25.
For tea and cake give me lemon drizzle any time.

Panache, I make a legendary pavlova. I'm always requested to make one for any family celebration. I make my late MiL's recipe, with fresh cream and any fruit you like. My personal favourite it mixed fresh berries.

jamila virtual is good ?
I am also on a diet
but if the offer is there...
mmm Cherry and almond cake

Afternoon tea for me would be smoked salmon and cucumber sandwiches followed by a custard slice or a strawberry tart and a pot of tea.

Oh, Harrigran, I’m with you. That sounds perfect! (Maybe some cream cheese with the sandwiches)
