Afternoon Tea at Dromoland Castle

On Thursday 12th November we visited Dromoland Castle for afternoon tea. There were 60 of us and the room was ready all beautifully laid out with delicate floral china. The waiters were very attentive pouring tea through strainers and filling the coffee cups. Then the food arrived and it looked fabulous sandwiches, smoked salmon with cream cheese and capers, crab, ham, egg and caesrar, egg mayonnaise, scones with jam and cream and dainties, little cakes of different colours and flavours and fruit cake. One cake was shortbread with raspberries on top decorated with gold leaf. When we had devoured all that the waiters came around with more. I must have put on a stone!

It was a most enjoyable afternoon and the staff were fantastic. It is a beautiful building and well worth a visit.
