Festive afternoon tea at Fourteas, Stratford upon Avon

I had my Christmas decorations up by 24th November – I don’t care what you say, I like Christmas.  And as part of that mission, we visited the Fourteas tearoom in Stratford upon Avon for their Christmas Ivor Novello Afternoon Tea.

The tiered stand includes around of sandwiches each. I enjoyed the Churchill Club sandwich on toasted brown with chicken, bacon, lettuce and tomato. A scone each and a selection of Christmas themed cakes and biscuits. The festive Ivor Novello comes with a glass of fizz or mulled wine.
