Afternoon tea in the South West

Home to some of the UK’s prettiest seaside resorts, the glorious landscapes of the West Country and the exciting, diverse city of Bristol, this colourful region has always been popular with tourists.

But whatever the reason for your visit, there’s a special reason to take afternoon tea in the South West. Amongst other famous contributions to British cuisine (like the Cornish pasty) it’s also the home of Devonshire clotted cream, a key element of the cream tea. So whether exploring the National Parks, historic cities such as Exeter and Bath, World Heritage sites like Stonehenge or sunbathing on the beaches of Devon and Cornwall, make time to savour freshly baked scones, homemade clotted cream, local jams and a pot of loose leaf tea.

Afternoon Tea at Harvey Nichols

We were given a friendly welcome when we arrived on the 5th floor at Harvey Nichols. We decided to sit out on the Terrace even though it was slightly windy. Service was excellent as was the champagne, tea, sandwiches and dessert items. All in all an excellent and enjoyable experience.

Red letter days great

Red letter days no problem. Slug and Lettuce Riverside Reading very poor. Waited 5 minutes to be shown to table no one acknowledged us then chose our own. Sat at table for 5 minutes no one acknowledged us. Went to bar waited approx 4 minutes before finally being acknowledged. During all the time we waited three members of staff glanced at us occasionally, never making eye contact or acknowledging us verbally, although the male member of staff continued his conversation with the couple he'd been speaking to outside the venue, when we first arrived. Please forward this to the Slug and Lettuce Riverside Reading then hopefully the experience won't be like this for another Red letter customer, because unfortunately as the provider of the experience it looks very bad for you. The food was nice but only warm, not hot.
