The George & Dragon Holmes Chapel held a soft launch for their brand new Afternoon tea. It is the first time the Cheshire pub has had an afternoon tea on their menu so i was excited to see what it was like. Their new chef brings the idea to the George along with a fantastic new Summer menu.
What was on the Afternoon Tea?
🥪 The sandwich layer was really nice. It had some classic finger sandwiches of beef and horseradish, but what i really liked was the slight different sandwich options. A fruity coronation chicken sat on a slide of rustic bruschetta and the tiniest soft brioche roll filled with creamy egg mayonnaise.
🍰 The cake layer was so pretty and fresh. The slab of Victoria sponge was so fresh and the sponge literally bounced. It was heavily laden with thick cream and jam which made it absolutely delicious. There was a slice of carrot cake, again you could so tell this was all homemade and made fresh. It was bouncy and light with the sweetest, creamiest frosting on top. Finally a chocolate delight of a sticky chocolate brownie. The layer was finished off with fresh berries and a couple of macaroons too.
🍓 The top layer was the classic scone. I loved how the double cream had been served as a quenelle which made it look so elegant. The scone has a slight crispy edge while lovely and soft in the middle. With the cream and little pot of jam it made the perfect finish to the afternoon tea.
My verdict
It was absolutely delicious, all homemade and a delight for the taste buds. The whole experience was lovely. Sat in their sunny conservatory, sipping a prosecco and chatting to a fellow afternoon tea lover is a great way to spend an afternoon. The staff are always so friendly at the George so it was no surprise they were attentively on hand to top up our endless cups of tea.
The selection of sandwiches and cakes were well put together, complimenting each other and made the whole experience wonderful
