Traditional Victorian Afternoon Tea
This great British custom was started by the Duchess
of Bedford in 1830 when she ordered a light meal to stave
off her hunger pangs between lunch and dinner. By the 1840's
wafer thin slices of bread holding finely chopped cucumber,
platters of light sponge cakes and freshly brewed pots of
tea were being served all across London. The Victorian era
saw Afternoon Tea established as a British staple. Tea became
a time for ladies to gossip and show off their prettiest
china. So step back in time, indulge your tastebuds and
enjoy the tinkle of teaspoons, and the slurping of tea and
a gossip!
Victorian Afternoon Teas are served on special occasions.
