Afternoon tea lessons, London

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 £65.00. Come with a good appetite! I will also provide a “doggy bag” for you to take home.
