Is it the best afternoon tea in Britain? No. The Ritz is. But the Ritz costs £60 and requires a jacket. The M&S Cafe version costs the same as a takeaway pizza, and you can wear your gym leggings.
Sometimes you just want a scone that won’t let you down, a sandwich that reminds you of childhood, and a cup of tea that tastes like a hug. The M&S Cafe Afternoon Tea delivers that without any fuss.
Go on a rainy Tuesday when you’re feeling a bit dreary. Treat yourself. You deserve a tiered stand of joy, even if it’s on a plastic tray. And if you spill the jam, just wipe it up with a napkin and smile. That’s the point.
