Afternoon Tea and Cake or Scones

Coffee and walnut, Victoria sponge with home-made raspberry jam (no buttercream, thank you), plain scones with home-made strawberry jam and clotted cream and a custard tart (Portuguese ones sound lovely).
Followed by a chocolate éclair

A pot of tea - no sugar and semi-skimmed milk please, as I am on a diet.

My mum used to make a lovely parkin, haven't had any for years, could I take a piece home please?

Thank you Michael, very enjoyable.

Coffee and walnut for me too. Or when appropriate parkin

I’m with HildajenniJ. Yorkshire curd tart is truly delicious! I also have a weakness, though, for Portuguese custard tarts. They do lovely ones at Browns cafe in Oxford market. Or fruit cake with Wensleydale cheese, and a cup of Earl Grey.

Coffee and walnut is my favourite. Wouldn't say no to anything chocolate or a proper cream tea.

I love Yorkshire curd tarts as well hilda no cream for me either, scone & jam with carrot or ginger cake - yummy.

Nice strong coffee for me please and a freshly baked scone with lots of jam and fresh cream..............(and a few indigestion tablets on the side!!!)

Whilst if making any pavlova at all, I hope you put a large placard outside.......... for I am VERY partial to some!
I would positively hate missing out.

Scone, jam and cream, as long as the gf scone doesn’t break a toe if dropped. Otherwise gf carrot cake and I love a brownie. Proper tea with tea leaves and a china cup. Lovely.

You can't go past a Yorkshire curd tart, delicious. I'm not big on sponge cake or doughnuts but I do enjoy a good fruit scone with butter and jam, I'm not bothered about the cream.

Pastel de Nata, Auntiflo. My favourite too.

At the moment, my favourite is those little Portuguese custard tarts, with a good pot of tea. One is not enough, and two would be piggy.

We once stopped! I corrected that before I posted!!!!!

We Ince stopped at somewhere that did gf custard tarts, nina, which are my favourite. I had 2 in case I never saw one again. I haven't!

Carrot Cake is my favourite but I had a very nice courgette one at Peterborough Cathedral the other day- really craving a very gooey chocolate one at the moment. I took a piece of chocolate cake at an event last weekend but it was very dry so I left it. Waste of calories

Have managed Harrogate and Otley in the past, like you say queuing is a problem , but Harrogate does offer similar places if you look.
Mick

You can't beat a real Cornish cream tea in my opinion.

Failing that, a custard tart or custard slice.
I've never managed to actually go in a Betty's Mick. Whenever I 've been near one people have been queuing out the door and along the street

Anything gluten free that isn't a brownie - gf is always a brownie!

Agree about the tea Ann.

I like scones AND cake when I am
having a proper afternoon tea.
When it comes to Betty's, it has to be a fat rascal, when I would forgo the scone.
Proper leaf tea with a strainer on a silver stand.
