Thistle Hotel Poole – Afternoon Tea

Last weekend myself and a friend enjoyed a Prosecco afternoon tea at the Thistle Hotel on Poole Quay.

I was lucky to be gifted this as a present from my old work colleagues as they know how much I love a good foodie outing.

On arrival we were greated and given a nice window seat. It was just a shame that it was raining outside so the view wasn’t as good as it could of been, however that wasn’t going to spoil our afternoon fun.

A fresh bottle of bubbles was opened for us and a chilled glass of prosecco poured. It was a added bonus to sip on while awaiting our tea and treats.

We could have the option of tea or coffee. Jackie and myself opted for tea, however it was a bit disappointing there was no selection of teas to choose from.

Our food arrived layed out nicely on a three tier cake stand containing; Sandwiches (egg mayo, ham with tomato and tuna mayo with cucumber) Cakes (cream horn, carrot cake, lemon cake, chocolate layer slice, victoria sponge and a cream slice) and finally two fruit scones with jam and clotted cream. All were nice and fresh, yummy and finished by both of us. Thats right, not even a cake in sight to take home!

One question for you all… What goes first the Jam or the Cream?
