Even at afternoon tea, the individual tea pots are filled in advance and have all cooled by the time they are brought to your table and you are given your tea bags to make your tea (Yes. Tea-making is still DIY).

 

As for afternoon tea, it was terrific in every other respect. The salmon and cucumber sandwiches were superb, as were the cakes. And the service was genuinely wonderful. We always enjoy going, even if the tea is consistently substandard.

 

I agree with the water in the individual pots not being hot enough, but I have always requested and been given, fresh hot water.

I bring my own teabags, already in my travel bag for my November cruise, Yorkshire tea.
