High Tea

I’m planning to have a “high tea” at my place and invite some of my friends over next month.

Now I am not British, nor have any idea what kinds of foods (besides tea and cucumber sandwiches) are served at high tea! Can anyone give me ideas?

Re: High Tea

  • selection of sandwiches (don't have to be just cucumber). But they MUST be cut into triangles and not squares - don't ask why, they just do.

    • scones
    • mini muffins
    • fairy cakes
    • a couple of different large cakes ie victora sandwich or coffee cake
    • flapjacks
    • sausage rolls/cheese rolls
    • biscuits

Just keep everything in small portions and nothing too heavy and stodgy.

Also vol-au-vents or mini pastries go well for high-tea events,.,
