OUR SPECIALITY!We’ve been serving the people of the Blackmore Vale since 1851, so we know what a proper Afternoon Tea should look like.

Heaps of well-filled sandwiches and rolls, as well as dainty cakes & slices – not forgetting scones, piled high with lashings of whipped cream & oozing jam.

Every bite is freshly made to order and we think you will find this is a pretty good match for Tea at The Ritz.

Afternoon Tea

See Pages 16-18 for details of prices and portions. We can also supply cake stands, tea urns and coffee flasks
