Fancy an afternoon tea that's all cheese?

Fancy an afternoon tea that's all cheese?

We've always been big fans of afternoon tea here at Hot Dinners, and we particularly love it when there's a new spin on the idea. And that's certainly the case with Afternoon Cheese at Brasserie Max inside the Covent Garden Hotel. 

Delivering just what it sounds, it's a more savoury take on afternoon tea that's all about celebrating British cheese. So instead of finger sandwiches, you'll have a savoury selection of treats like a Colston Bassett éclair, a Ragstone and caramelised onion macaron, a Lincolnshire Poacher burnt cheese tart. On the larger side, there's a Hafod Cheddar Welsh rarebit doughnut, and yes, the scones are cheese too (Montgomery Cheddar scones with goat’s curd, caramelised onion jam and chive oil). It all finishes on a slightly sweeter note with a Westcombe Ricotta cheesecake.

So if you really, really like your cheese and want to while away an afternoon trying it in all-new guises, this should be well worth checking out.
