Jubilee Afternoon Tea will be served at Dobbies in Hare Hatch and Shinfield during the jubilee weekend

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

THEY’RE promising it’s fit for the Queen … and it could be yours when you pop out for some compost.

Dobbies garden centres in Hare Hatch and Shinfield are launching a very special afternoon tea in its cafes, and it will only be served during the Platinum Jubilee bank holiday weekend.

It comprises freshly made sandwiches, savoury treats and a traditional cream scone, served with tea or coffee. A vegan option will be available.

Children have their own afternoon tea, with sandwiches, healthy snacks and tasty treats, plus a fruit juice. They can also decorate their own crown.

And the meal can be upgraded, swapping the hot drink for a mini bottle of Prosecco.

And all who attend can enter a draw to win a £100 Dobbies’ giftcard, by sharing a photo of themselves with their afternoon tea on social media, using the tag #DobbiesJubileeCrowns.
