Scones and cucumber sandwiches are all well and good but everything in this world is better with cheese.
There is nothing on this earth more British than an afternoon tea, to the point where not even the Queen or crippling passive-aggression quite matches up to it. But just because it’s a classic, that doesn’t mean it can’t be improved. With cheese. Lots and lots of cheese.
So thank you to the Pimlico Pantry at fancy hotel Georgian House, who are hosting a cheese afternoon tea from Saturday 22nd July until Sunday 30th July. Prepare yourself for a whole range of dairy goodness from a range of regional suppliers, including Little Sussex cheese, Ashdown Foresters Smoked Cheddar Welsh rarebit, and cute ‘nduja (that’s a real thing) & roasted pepper sandwiches. But the Victorian noblewoman-esque cheese spread doesn’t stop there: finish off with some ricotta with whisky apricots and L’Ubriaco basajo (a blue cheese made from raw sheep’s milk and white wine) with currants and oat biscuits. Who needs a summer bod anyway?
The cheese afternoon tea costs £35pp and is available at Pimlico Pantry in Georgian House from 22nd July until 30th July.
