Etiquette is not about putting on airs and graces and pretending to be posh! It's actually all about consideration. Here at The English Cream Tea Company, we love and cherish the history and etiquette of Afternoon Tea. We believe youngsters need to be shown the art of enjoying Afternoon Tea too!  If they master that, they master the way to create rapport and that's a most valuable asset in life.

Jane Malyon (Chief Scone Gnome/MD of The English Cream Tea Co) is an acknowledged expert on this topic. Buy her best selling book or a 1-1 masterclass in etiquette. Her gorgeous hardback book: Scone or Scon(e) - the essential Guide to British Afternoon Tea is an Amazon best seller and available to be sent out (signed if you wish) across the UK. It even contains a fun 25 question Etiquette Quiz to test if your manners are Palace ready!  If you don't feel they are, book for a private Manners Masterclass below.
