Afternoon Tea at Copper House in Berkhamsted

Editor Clare Swatman took her Dad along to sample Afternoon Tea at Copper House, Berkhamsted

It’s almost a year since Copper House opened its doors in the Town Hall building, and it’s been a roaring success. And now, they’ve started offering Afternoon Tea – so when I was invited along to try it, how could I refuse?

I’ve eaten at Copper House before and I know their food is delicious. I invited my Dad to join me so we could try the vegetarian and the regular version of the afternoon tea.

The Afternoon Tea menu consisted of a selection of sandwiches including smoked salmon, avocado, cheese and chutney and egg mayonnaise, scones and a selection of cakes. You can choose tea to drink, or upgrade to a glass of Champagne. We opted for the Champagne – of course!

When the food arrived it looked stunning – and it tasted as good as it looked. The sandwiches were so fresh, and the filling perfect, the scones were delicious, and the cakes were the perfect ending. The truth though? Neither of us managed to finish everything, despite taking our time. But we enjoyed every mouthful.

This is the perfect way to indulge yourself. The Afternoon Tea costs £30 per person, and the Champagne version is £39. www.copperhousebar.co.uk
