Eric Lanyard afternoon tea

#1

Post by oldtimer »

Having watched his TV programmes I assumed his afternoon tea would be lots of exotic cakes, however I have looked at the two menu's and there is Salmon, duck etc. Has anyone been to this and do you choose just one item on the menu?

We did it last month. Each couple has a stand with three different savouries - two of each type - then there are four different cakes - two of each - and two different scones also two of each.

It was absolutely divine, but there was no way we could eat it all, so they wrapped up what was left - in our case two savouries, two scones and four cakes - and we ate it MUCH MUCH later instead of dinner.

The cakes were sublime and it was money VERY well spent! I have a picture but no idea how to post it on here.

I thought it was great but not fantastic, had similar afternoon teas in the UK. In saying that I would recomend it. We would also just eat what we wanted and leave the rest, you'll never go short of food all over the ship.

As an aside - most of the desserts in the Glasshouse were developed by Eric over a glass or three with Olly

We were surprised at how much we liked her, Jan. Yes she's big, and has a lot of passengers, but we never once felt crowded.
I am sure you'll have a lovely time and look forward to seeing what you think.

Gill can you please tell me how much the EL afternoon tea costs please, couldn't find it on P&O website, but didn't spend a lot of time looking I suppose. Thought it would be easier asking you :D
