Afternoon Tea at The Beeches, Lincolnshire

After arriving back from Paris last month, I had a few extra days booked off work which I like to do once I've been away, just to get up to speed with washing, upload all my photos as well as catch up on any sleep.

I had found a voucher in our local newspaper for half price afternoon tea at a local hotel/restaurant (was originally £16, now down to £8 - who could refuse afternoon tea this price?!). Unfortunately I'm not going to name the venue due to giving away my home town (and its a small town!) so hopefully this post wont be too pointless for you!

Even though I once lived literally round the corner from this place, I had never ventured inside because I'd heard the prices were pretty steep.

We were seated in a cute small dining area and we were the only ones there (which is how I like it!). Another couple came towards the end of our afternoon tea but it was still really quiet.

Both the teacups and cake stand were pretty, very vintage and floral - just how I like it! Once again I couldn't finish all of the cakes, although it never looks a lot when it arrives, afternoon tea is always deceiving no matter where you go!

 

 

There was a good selection of sandwich fillings, from the traditional salmon, to cheese & pickle and egg mayo (my fave!)

 

 

I wasn't expecting a great deal from this due to the price, but was very impressed with what was included. Although some of the cakes I believe not to be hand-made and probably shop-bought, I didn't mind too much because of the price.

 

Although I've had better Afternoon Tea's, I'd definitely come back here, especially with another half price voucher!

Have you entered my giveaway? There's only a few days left and 2 bottles of bioderma up for grabs!
