The Garden Room where we were seated is a beautifully decorated drawing room with sweeping views of the Minster. I loved the festive decorations including the elaborately decorated mantelpieces, the ginger bread house spread accompanied by a train set and lots of Christmas trees.
We toasted our champagne flutes and settled down to a tantalising trip for the taste buds.
To start we dined on Jerusalem Artichoke veloute with white truffle oil, beetroot cured blini with Hendricks’ gin infused cucumber and the very delicious apricot, sage and bacon sausage roll.
After a photographic interlude it was time the main event including a sumptuous array of sandwiches, scones and festive cakes!
Other highlights of the Principal festive afternoon tea included the apple chutney in the Wensleydale cheese and chutney sandwiches as well as the cranberry and orange scones with clementine marmalade and clotted cream
