You don’t need to book a hotel or afternoon tea restaurant to enjoy an elegant afternoon tea.

With an afternoon tea hamper, you can create the experience at home.

Whether you’re planning a birthday afternoon, Mother’s Day celebration, anniversary or simply want something special at the weekend, a well-selected hamper can provide almost everything you need.

What should an afternoon tea hamper contain?

A classic afternoon tea typically includes:

• Scones
• Clotted cream
• Jam
• Tea
• Cakes
• Biscuits or other sweet treats

The exact contents vary between hampers.

The Cream & Afternoon Tea Hampers collection includes a variety of options, making it possible to choose something according to the occasion and number of people.

Traditional afternoon tea

The Afternoon Tea Hamper is built around a traditional Devon cream tea and adds several sweet treats.

It includes fruit and plain scones, clotted cream, strawberry jam, Devonshire tea, brownie, flapjack and shortbread.

This makes it suitable for people who want more variety than a basic cream tea.

Afternoon tea with cake

For dedicated cake lovers, the Afternoon Tea & Cake Hamper combines cream tea essentials with cake, fudge and caramel shortcake.

It’s an easy way to turn a normal afternoon into something worth celebrating.

A larger afternoon tea experience

If you’re entertaining several people, consider a larger option such as the Afternoon Tea Feast Hamper.

The idea is simple: provide a broader selection so everyone has something to enjoy.

Don’t forget cake and biscuits

You can also explore the Cake & Biscuit Hampers collection for additional sweet treats.

The Biscuit & Cake Lovers Basket includes tea, brownie, shortbread, fudge, cookies and cake.

Add savoury treats

Afternoon tea doesn’t have to be exclusively sweet.

The Cheese & Savoury Hampers collection can provide a more balanced selection.

This can work particularly well for a family gathering where guests have different preferences.

Make your own afternoon tea hamper

Want complete control?

The Create Your Own Hamper option allows you to choose items around your recipient.

You could create a box featuring tea, scones, cakes, biscuits and savoury snacks.

How to create an afternoon tea at home

Once your hamper arrives, set up a small table with:

1. A teapot
2. Teacups
3. Plates
4. Small serving knives
5. Napkins
6. Scones
7. Jam and clotted cream
8. Cakes and biscuits

You don’t need elaborate decorations. Good food, tea and company are what make the experience memorable.
