[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My British dh would tell you that you are confused.  High tea is a worker's meal, what builders and labourers eat in the late afternoon after long hours of manual work.  It is not posh or fancy.  It is not a birthday treat.  It is stained mugs of basic workers tea and maybe a sandwich or something at home.

What you actual mean is afternoon tea.    [/quote]

I care — this person posts everytkme the question is asked and it was helpful education for me as an American to have the right terminology when I went to London!  Why so averse to learning something new?

I would say that $100 is ridiculously overpriced for what you get.  But sometimes you just suck it up and do something overpriced, like lighting money on fire, because it is special and maybe you will remember it more than two different meals at nice ordinary restaurants?

For the British person that said 2-25, I am surprised because we really shopped around in London and didn’t really see much below $60 unless you were talking just tea and scone and a little cake.  I think the place we went was $60 and it was llovely with three different savory appetizers, three little desserts, scones and tea, all very tasty (the best being a chicken curry mini pie).
