I have been searching and searching for a place to have afternoon tea - so I was so happy to stumble across What the Dickens when we were in Hastings for a baseball tournament
The afternoon tea came with an assortment of savory and sweet treats. Including cucumber tea sandwiches, egg and bacon tea sandwiches, a slice of sausage roll, Bakewell tarts and more. I opted to add two scones with clotted cream and jam as well (which was a great choice, because the scones are amazing). Truly everything on the tea tray was delicious, but the warm scones may have been my favorite part. They have a wide selection of teas to choose from as well, but I went with an old favorite (English breakfast tea).
My husband loves scotch eggs and was delighted to see them listed on the menu - and he really enjoyed his
We also grabbed some Eccles cakes and Bakewell tarts to go (the Bakewell tarts were my 5 year old's favorite)
Our food and tea came out quickly and the server seemed very familiar with the menu and was able to answer all our questions
We would absolutely stop in again the next time we are in Hastings! read more
