Had a lovely afternoon tea at Middletons today. I’m glad I didn’t read the reviews before I went as I may have changed my plans. I’ve had a lot of afternoon teas at many different places. Betty’s, The Grand, various hotels and other restaurant chains Some have been lovely, some disappointing. Today’s was lovely. Yes, there was only one plate of savoury, but this is not unusual. The sandwiches were generously filled. The sausage rolls, scones and cakes were delicious. We did have a voucher for half price afternoon tea. But the quality was up there with some of the best I’ve experienced. The hotel restaurant was quiet, but it was lunchtime at a hotel in York. I would assume guests go elsewhere for lunch whilst exploring the city. That’s what I do when I’m on holiday. It was my first visit to Middletons today but I wouldn’t hesitate to return
