AFTERNOON TEA MEETS THE PUDDING CLUB |
We had a wonderful afternoon tea experience at Three Ways House Hotel. Known for their famous-all-over-the-world Pudding Club, the cake layer of this particularly afternoon tea was one we had greatly anticipated. And rightly so… it was utterly delicious! The homemade scones, served with a generous dollop of clotted cream and strawberry jam, were excellent. The sandwiches equally so, featuring a variety of very generous fillings.
