Festive Afternoon Tea
At The View Hotel
✩ A perfect way to spend a December afternoon ✩
We love an afternoon tea, but what’s better than an
afternoon tea? A festive afternoon tea. On Dec 1st we
kicked off the Christmas season with a festive afternoon tea
at The View Hotel. And what a great way to spend a Sunday
afternoon it was.
The festive afternoon tea starts with a kir royale cocktail in
the Vista bar. We sat next to the window in the Vista bar
and the view was lovely. So was the kir royale – which for
those of you don’t know what that is – it’s a cocktail with
champagne and Crème de Cassis.
The tea comes with a selection of festive open sandwiches.
Those being a turkey and cranberry sandwich, a mature
cheddar and spiced chutney option, next up a cured salmon
and cream cheese and chive and lastly beef watercress and
horseradish.
The turkey and cranberry was a favourite, followed by the
cheddar and spiced chutney – who doesn’t love cheese
and chutney at Christmas. Then the beef, followed by the
salmon.
We also loved that they were open sandwiches because it
wasn’t as filling as having a whole, which meant more room
for scones. Which brings us on to the next tier ….
