£21.50 Vs. £144 Afternoon Tea

[@vilstef6988]

The two high-end places looked amazing for their afternoon tea, but Lucy's won me over for the heart and unpretentiousness.

[@Natenie]

I actually quite enjoy the UK version. It's much more subtle, less "drastically" and less "WOW factor" , which brings up the tasting experience closer to the viewer. I love the Stevadamrew original tho. Don't hate me.

[@GeminiMoon1994]

Afternoon tea is a traditional British meal. On that basis, I'm going to have to say I'm more attracted to Lucy's Tearoom. It's traditional, its got heart and soul and is in no way pretentious. The others, whilst looking good, were distortions. They felt cold and void of any soul and rather pretentious. I don't doubt that they tasted nice, but I'm inclined to go traditional all the way.

[@benanderson89]

Both the fancy places also mentioned that certain parts were good for Instagram. That alone makes me hate them. Lucy all the way.

[@GeminiMoon1994]

@@benanderson89 True that! If a cafe/restaurant etc is created around a concept of being "insta friendly" then that just goes to show how shallow they are. To be completely honest, who on earth would pay those prices anyway?

[@gandaruvu]

based on its origin, afternoon tea is a rather pretentious meal. It was made by an aristocratic lady to snack between lunch and dinner. Also the point of having triple tier platings was to show off. If at home or something more traditional, people will just go for cream tea, which is just the scones and tea. And yes, in London the average afternoon tea is around 30-50 per person. It is a treat, and usually people go there for birthday, anniversary, or other celebrations.

[@SCBJQ]

Lucy's didn't really serve a traditional afternoon tea though. The dessert part is usually an assortment of small delicate pastries and tarts, not just 2 huge chunks of cake. Same with the sandwiches. She served thick, sloppy sandwiches that looked like a child made them, instead of thin, neat tea sandwiches. Don't get me wrong. Everything looked like it would taste delicious and I'd be thrilled to have a friend serve me that at their home. None of it looked like a professionally made afternoon tea though.

[@douglasfreer]

I liked both Lucy’s and the Sanderson Hotels versions. Sketch just seemed off and too expensive for tea. I find Lucy’s quaint since it looks so cozy and homey while SH just looks fun since I think of afternoon tea being about having a little fun.

1. Yes, you are absolutely correct. That flower song is from Alice in Wonderland and it's actually the flowers singing. 2. Lol at all the non-UK people who don't know about afternoon tea (I'm also not from the UK). It's fun to learn something new (and a better thing to mess up than not knowing the different slang meanings for rubber and pants).

[@Orion_TheyThem]

greeneyedtrombonist well, I think the confusion stemmed from them having tea based on Alice Through the Looking Glass, which was not animated or musical and starred Johnny Depp. That Mad Hatter's tea was served at a release party for the film. And so I think she was thinking of the live action versions (which have no singing), while he was thinking of the original Disney Animated version (which was a musical, but released in 1951).

[@lillylee122619]

I love how I am not the only person who knew about the singing garden of flowers in the Disney animated Alice in Wonderland. I also know that name of the song as well. It was "Golden Afternoon," which was chosen by the rose because all the other flowers were arguing about what song to sing for Alice.
