Afternoon Tea Gift Voucher Experiences

If you’re buying a gift for somebody who isn’t that into possessions, or seems to have everything they want already, then getting them an experience voucher can be the perfect solution. Afternoon tea is a quintessential British tradition that’s suitable for any occasion, but might be especially suited to Mother’s Day presents, graduation gifts, or as an anniversary present.

Tea, cake, bubbles and finger sandwiches make for a sophisticated affair that will leave the recipient feeling truly pampered. The draw of afternoon tea days is so widespread that you can find both luxury and more relaxed venues offering an array of traditional and contemporary style afternoon teas. It’s a sociable day out and, as an afternoon tea voucher usually covers two people, play your cards right and you might just be chosen as the special guest! Just don’t start a debate about whether it’s jam or cream first… 

Afternoon Tea Gift FAQs

Is afternoon tea a good gift?

Afternoon tea vouchers are a great gift for foodies, experience-seekers, and anyone who enjoys great British traditions. They also give the giftee an excuse to sit down and relax for a couple of hours… and who wouldn’t appreciate that?

What are the three main foods served at afternoon tea?

Traditionally speaking, afternoon tea should consist of three main foods – sandwiches, scones and cakes. However, many venues now offer a modern take on the classic formula, with items being swapped out for burger sliders, rocky road, and pretty much anything else you can think of!

What do you normally get in afternoon tea?

In most places, afternoon tea will be served on a three-tiered cake stand. One level is reserved for crustless sandwiches, often filled with cold meats or cucumber and cream cheese. The other levels are saved for the iconic scones, and a mixture of cakes and sweet treats. You can usually choose which type of tea you would like these to be served with, and a glass of prosecco or champagne is often included.

What is the difference between high tea and afternoon tea?

Afternoon tea is served mid-afternoon and will usually involve a selection of delicate sandwiches, scones and cakes. High tea, on the other hand, is served around early evening and tends to be made up of more substantial food like meat, fish, and egg dishes.
