Covent Garden

Inspired by SACOL ...

Are the Irish ladies just as coax'able and amenable to afternoon tea as those from the UK?

Is it a 'thing' here?

I brought someone to Ashford Castle for high tea and it was absolutely class. She loved it.

It's a lovely gift and a great excuse to get dressed up and act like a toff.

And behave like a tramp on a walk round the grounds

There was a bit of that too in fairness!

And would their dainty teacups be just as porcelain-smooth as your derrière?

I think my derrière is far more robust than their teacups

I have always wanted to bring someone for high tea and never had the opportunity. I've asked a few times but been laughed off as having notions... I've plenty of notions but I don't mind some little sandwiches and macarons first...

Notions have their place but not on the table amongst the cake tiers, the potted jams, the delectable scones and the pots of loose leaf teas. You should do High Tea!

It's quite popular now! I think Bewleys kicked off the trend again a few years ago! Now a lot of higher end hotels do it. Can be €30 to €60 a head! You can get a meal for similar prices. It's a novelty but nice to dress up all the same.

Ive been to Adare Manor and it was exquisite. I actually love to go again or happily be a plus one.

Okay lll be controversial here.. But its a sure fire way to ascertaining a persons table manners.

Meh, I'd rather see someone enjoying their food that eating it in the "correct" way.

My fantasies rarely involve table manners, or at least not the kind suggested above

Girls like to dress up! You don't complain when we dress down do you

We all agree it's a luxury item but we can argue that for a lot of things.

I don't consider dressing up to be "table manners"

Oh wow! Special mention and all! Hmmm aren't we lucky!

Can't really comment, I am not much of a tea nor a coffee drinker!

PS- good to see you back in the Irish forum

So, no cooling your tea in the saucer, and slurping it?

We also went for high tea last summer to Adare Manor! It was rather lovely indeed, but switched to bubbly after all the pleasantries were done. Would love to come there for dinner!
