Is high tea still a thing?

The days meals in our home
Breakfast
Lunch- something light like a sandwich or salad
Dinner which is a cooked meal around 6pm

Not for us but
Supper a biscuit and drink before bed

Sometimes dinner (a cooked meal) is served at lunch time

High tea, English tea or Afternoon tea is usually served around 4 - 5pm with small light sandwiches and cakes and a cup of tea.

In some households tea can be a cooked dinner.

I think it also depends on where you live and the customs associated with an area. Our daily routine these days tend to fit around our work and life style.
I suspect most people these days don't have English Tea, Afternoon Tea, High Tea unless they are on a cruise ship where the tradition still holds.

I remember high tea as being something you had if you were going out in the evening, to see a film, for example - it was like a later afternoon tea with something more substantial added, like scrambled egg or cold meat -

or, as my mother would say, 'Tea off the mantelpiece.'

I was told off on TH for criticising people who called their main meal had in the evening 'tea '. It still really annoys me! Breakfast, elevensies, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and finally, supper. Who could afford a ll that these days, though!?

High tea and afternoon tea are not the same thing.
High tea is a sit down meal at the end of the working day, sometimes hot, sometimes a ham salad or similar, or a pie or pasty, followed by bread and butter and perhaps a cake or a scone, accompanied by a cup of tea.
Afternoon tea is dainty sandwiches, “finger food” then scones/cakes etc also served with tea. It is usually served in the mid afternoon and would have been unknown in a working class household where people did not have the leisure to sit around drinking tea with their pinkie raised.

And only in “furrin parts” would it ever be referred to as English Tea!

Absolutely right Maw that is how I remember high tea and afternoon tea.

I agree Maw, two different things.
Wot, we also called dinner, tea.

We always had afternoon tea on Saturdays and Sundays when I was a child. This was served around 4 pm. It consisted of sandwiches or bread and cheese with chutney or pickles, home baked cakes and biscuits (kit kats or penguins) or other brands. The rest of the week we had high tea as my Dad came home from work at about 5 pm, and we all sat down together to eat. This was a cold meat salad, or fish dish sometimes served with potatoes followed by scones and jam or cake. We had our dinner at 12 - 1 pm. we all had school dinners during the week.
