Sounds of the country

People staying in for afternoon tea

Searches for delivered afternoon tea have rocketed during lockdown according to Google research this week. People wanting to treat themselves or celebrate birthdays and anniversaries are searching for “Cream tea” or “Afternoon tea” online above other food enquiries. Hotels not offering the service could look at the English tradition as a trial for re-opening post 4th July.

Alan is asking operators to support the campaign.
