Afternoon Tea at Booths Restaurant in Lytham

We missed lunch so decided to pop into Booths Artisan Restaurant in their Lytham store for a snack.  As we looked through their excellent and varied menu, we spied an advertisement for Afternoon Tea that we had not noticed on previous visits, so we decided to give it a try.

There was a mouth-watering selection of finger sandwiches - egg, smoked salmon, cream cheese and cucumber and ham - white and brown bread - then a freshly baked scone (warm from the oven) with butter, Claire's Natural Strawberry Jam and Clotted Cream, then rich chocolate brownie triangles and slices of luxury brandy fruit cake, followed by a light fruit sorbet, all washed down with a pot of tea of your choice (and there were lots to choose from) or a cafetiere (chose from several different types) of coffee.  If you so wish, you can add a bottle of champagne for an extra £28 or so, but we chose not to.

When the plates arrived, we understood why the lovely waitress asked us if we wanted to share!   

All this for £9.50 per person and this has to be THE bargain of the Fylde Coast.   

A word to the wise - if you are not absolutely famished do consider sharing!

Our only complaint was that we did not have our camera with us to take a photograph - hey ho we shall just have to go back then won't we?
