Botham’s Afternoon Tea, bringing friends & family together since 1865!

Written by Alyson Jackson

The 19th Century brought us the joy that is High Tea: A selection of small sandwiches, pastries, scones and cakes served in the time between lunch and dinner. Not only does it ward off hunger, but Afternoon Tea is also a delicious reason to gather friends & family!
