SAVOUR & SIP
ENJOY A DECADENT AFTERNOON TEA AT ONE OF THESE LUXURIOUS LOCAL EATERIES TREAT YOURSELF Decree of the Tea
FITZBILLIES Perhaps the most famous of the afternoon teas in Cambridge, Fitzbillies has been serving up the goods since the 20s. All treats are handmade at the cafe’s artisan bakery, from the bread to the macarons. Enjoy it daily at the Trumpington Street branch: if you’re feeling decadent, throw in a glass of champagne – or take it away as a picnic. Fitzbillies also offers afternoon tea in a box from its website, available for delivery anywhere in the UK.
THE VARSITY HOTEL Climb to the heights of Cambridge’s Varsity Hotel to sample moreish finger sandwiches, warm scones and scrumptious cakes. To drink, choose from champagne, cocktails – the bramble, daiquiris or a blushing Russian are our favourites – or its famous teas of the world selection. You could even experience a pre-afternoon soothing session at the Glassworks Spa.
GRADUATE HOTEL For a taste of refinement, look no further than the Graduate. One of the city’s most luxurious afternoon tea offerings, this hotel serves up a sumptuous spread in the gorgeous Garden Room. Expect exquisite sweets and savouries dreamed up by head chef Adam Wood, including a homemade fruit-and-nut chocolate bar, goat’s cheese and fig ‘Oreo’, and some delicious sugar-dusted doughnuts.
