I visited an affordable afternoon tea and it took my breath away
Afternoon tea is one of the UK's most famous food traditions, although modern versions are often far more elaborate than the original. A traditional afternoon tea typically includes finger sandwiches, scones, cakes and sweet treats and of course, tea.
