I've had a lot of afternoon teas but this one by far, is the best I've had…read more
Plus I'm in England having it!
Also got lucky with it still being coronation month when I was there, they still had the coronation high tea. Perfect!
The Royal crescent hotel is a stellar location to have the tea at. Definitely in a league if it's own, in Bath. The hotel itself was fascinating and very classic and beautiful.
The restaurant where you have the tea is in the grounds and the scenery is just stunning. Lush greenery everywhere and beautiful flowers, and just the most beautiful setting for a very classy British tea.
We all opted for the Coronation high tea, and I added a glass of champagne, because why not!
We all picked our teas from an extensive list. I had the masala chai which was a nice take on the Indian chai with spices . Others had granny's garden, morning dew and the yunnan black tea. Lots of different colors! The champagne was also lovely!
The tiered plates came with lots of delicious bites, the finger sandwiches were awesome, they had smoked salmon, the classic cucumber, egg salad, roast beef, and we opted for some vegetarian ones too, the roasted red pepper , basil and lemon hummus was my favorite. The plum tomato chutney also really good, and there was a guacamole, dill and lime one.
You get unlimited amounts of finger sandwiches! The bread was so nice and grainy and soft.
The array of sweet treats was mind boggling. Cakes, pastries, scones with real clotted cream and jam! Bath buns, specialty of the area
Kinda really loved the scones and bath buns. The cute chocolate crown on the brownie was adorable and delicious. Everything here was just fabulous. Such a fun afternoon experience with my high school friends.
The service was awesome, felt very high society !
One of the fanciest teas I've had.
