Invented in 1840 to do away with the mid-afternoon slump (thanks 7th Duchess of Bedford), you can take Afternoon Tea anytime between 12 noon and 6pm at Hotel du Vin Stratford-upon-Avon.

This week only (Tuesday 14th-Monday 20th) take advantage of an amazing 2 for 1 offer on Afternoon Tea at Hotel du Vin.

Afternoon Tea items include mini sandwiches and other savouries, scones, jam and clotted cream, and a medley of sweet treats to finish, comprising cakes, doughnuts and candyfloss. Yum.

I’m taking advantage of this offer, so expect a Stratfordblog review of Afternoon Tea at Hotel du Vin soon.
