Afternoon Tea!

The Laura Ashley Manor


On Monday I took my sister Charlotte for afternoon tea! This was a birthday present.. back in November!

Charlotte decided to go off travelling for 2 months back in January, and as we had a lot of plans in December due to it being the Christmas month, I decided to wait until she was home to take her!

So, on Monday afternoon we headed off to The Laura Ashley Manor in Elstree. 
Upon arrival we were greeted by a gentlemen in the reception area, who then took us to where we needed to be.

We were then seated at our table and given a box full of different flavoured teas to smell.
Charlotte went for the Earl Grey Tea, and I went boring and stuck to the trusty English Breakfast Tea (I'm not one for trying different teas!) 


Whilst drinking our tea we were then able to have a look at the afternoon tea menu.




YUM!!

This was quite possibly one of the best afternoon teas I have had! The food was incredible!
In particular, I loved the Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese Bagel and the Mini Quiche!
Charlotte loved the Cucumber & Cream Cheese Finger Sandwich and the Smoked Chicken & Tomato Brioche!
Obviously we both LOVED the scones (who doesn't!?) also, the jam that we were given was homemade by the chefs which was super yummy!
 We were so full up from the sandwiches, bagels and scones that unfortunately didn't have room for the cakes which is such a shame! 
We will just have to go again!

As this was a birthday present for my sister, I did mention it when I was booking it.
I was very happy that they took that on board as they brought out a small cake with a candle and 'Happy Birthday' written in chocolate on the plate!

(She really struggled to eat this!)

This was such a lovely day, and was really nice to spend some time with my sister after her being away for 2 months!


If you love going for afternoon tea and you haven't been here already, I really do recommend going here!
You will not be disappointed!


I would love to know where you have all been for afternoon tea! I love trying new places!
