Afternoon Tea at The Grand Hotel is served daily in the Parlor
on low tables and soft chairs.
(The Parlor isvery much like a hotel lobby without a registration desk.)

We were a group of eleven and were seated at two tables.

There was only one tea served to our group from silver pots.

The sandwich course was served plated.
Starting at the top: Cucumber, Deviled Egg, Turkey, Ham and
Salmon tea sandwiches.

Before the next course, we were offered a choice of champagne or
sparkling raspberry juice.
I was served four large chocolate dipped strawberries, no scones, no pastries.
Yes, I was a little disappointed.
After tea, we shopped in the gift shop, walked around and enjoyed the old world charm of the hotel.

I'm glad they had some gluten-free savories for you but am sorry there were not more sweet things you could eat. It does look like a lovely setting for tea.
How beautiful! Yes, I would be disappointed at only strawberries too. The sandwiches for each all looked just wonderful.
Such a fun and memorable Afternoon Tea!
What a wonderful place to visit and have Afternoon Tea. I had a friend who passed away when we lived in Colorado. She always wanted to go down the hill running shouting "Richard, Richard" like in the movie. Thanks for sharing your trip!
I would have been disappointed in your sweets course as well. The setting was as wonderful as your photos.
Sips and Smiles,
Teresa
