How many tiers in afternoon tea?
How many tiers in afternoon tea? The bottom tier of a 3-tier tea tray consists of finger sandwiches; the middle tier holds scones, clotted cream, and preserves; the top tier hosts a selection of mini desserts and cake, hence the theme for each class.
Do you tip at afternoon tea?
Between 10% and 15% of the bill is considered a good tip for polite and helpful service. IMO, for afternoon tea for two, where service has been spot on, a crisp tenner for the waiter is about right. The key thing is to enjoy yourself, that's what you're there for!
