A high tea is excellent served as a delicious long lunch. Ideal for surprising someone or for celebrating a special occasion in style, such as your birthday, wedding or baby shower. What a lunch high tea looks like and which dishes are served can be done in different ways. We give you some interesting typical English suggestions.

A high tea for lunch?

A “high tea lunch” is actually an upscale lunch consisting of several small sweet and savory dishes. For example, the high tea lunch menu at Pilkington’s restaurant consists of some typical English lunch recipes, such as homemade “Shepherd’s pie” and “Devonshire scones with clotted cream and marmalade. A high tea for lunch often includes coffee and tea served throughout between dishes. Pilkington’s even serves a refreshing cocktail during your high tea.
