Easter 2017 Afternoon Tea Round Up - Part 2

Hello there,

Welcome back to Tea With Me and Friends and our second look at the wonderful Easter themed afternoon teas that are available this year!

Today we're taking a look at the elegant offering from Hotel Café Royal,  a rather cute looking tea from Dorsett Shepherd's Bush and a chocoholics dream at Whittlebury Hall.

Enjoy an afternoon tea at Hotel Café Royal in London this Easter and you'll have a bunny joining you for tea.....well actually a rather cute macaron with bunny ears!

The bunny is an orange and pistachio macaron, and other Easter treats include Simnel cake with golden eggs!

Dorsett Shepherds Bush are serving hot cross bun scones at their Easter afternoon tea, as well as Chocolate nests, eggcellent biscuits and mini Easter eggs!

How cute are those biscuits?

Or how about this chocolate feast on offer at Whittlebury Hall...

This Easter afternoon tea features dark chocolate & praline brulee, spiced fruit & marzipan cake, milk chocolate & tonka bean brownie, Eton mess ice cream cone (yes you read that correctly!) and raspberry & lemon macaroons. Sounds tea-riffic!

If you enjoy an Easter themed afternoon tea this weekend we'd love to hear all about it - send us a photo on Twitter!

Hello there,

Welcome back to Tea With Me and Friends, we hope you're feeling tea-riffic today!

With Easter less than a week away we thought we'd take a peek at some of the wonderful Easter themed afternoon teas on offer this year. Spring is such a pretty time of year, with flowers blooming and the sunshine starting to make a welcome appearance....we think this is reflected in this selection of afternoon teas.

Let's start with Fortnum and Mason - one of my favourite shops in London to wander around....
