Visiting the UK? There are other places out there, not just London, you know!

Harrogate should be top of your list as far as afternoon tea in a tranquil and quaint setting is concerned.

You have 3 places to choose from, the ground level floor ^

The B2 room ^

Or, where we chose, B2 - The Veranda Cafe

Look no further than the Afternoon Tea - £18.95 ($793TWD per person)

But, in fairness, the breakfasts are awesome, too!

We ordered 2 of the Afternoon Tea sets. The first thing to arrive is 2 teapots with tea in and 1 teapot with hot water in (to refill the others).

Their tea sets are beautiful, I was especially a fan of the tea strainer!

Here we go, 3 layers of bliss.

Let's start at the bottom - the sandwiches. We have:

Smoked salmon - great

Roast Yorkshire ham - good

Roast free-range chicken breast - great

Egg and cress - great

All top class.

Next, what I was looking forward to most, the scones!

My step-by-step guide to how to prepare and best eat your scones:

1. Cut your scone in half

2. Spread your cream (thick and uneven for the rustic look is best!)

3. Slap a generous dollop of (the best is strawberry) strawberry jam on top. Don't bother smoothing it out or making it look even and perfect all over.
