AS it was Lara’s birthday we went for a very nice Afternoon Tea at the Red Lion in Henley. It was a Groupon offer for £29, so I was a bit worried they would skimp but it was lovely.
The hotel is on the banks of the River Thames in Henley. It is a lovely old hotel with tasteful decor, nice old beams and comfty chairs.
It was really quiet when we arrived and initially had to endure the stares of an old couple who didn’t have any conversation. But once they left it was thoroughly pleasant.
Starting with a glass of very nice bubbly, we then tucked into smoked salmon, tomato and ham sandwiches.
Next was a strawberry jam tart with lots of cream and a shortcrust pastry base. The lemon sponge cake was very nice, as was the fruit cake.
The fruit scones were thick, maybe a little too doughy, but otherwise very good. And with lashing of cream and jam it was incredibly tasty.
It did tip me over the edge and I had to lie in the sun to relax!
This is a good Groupon and I would recommend this hotel.
