As many of you are aware, in spite of following a largely low-sugar/low-carb diet, I do have a bit of a 'scone habit' :)
Tea and cake is a particularly British custom and tea rooms are found all over the British Isles. Some would say that the refreshments are an intrinsic part of any day out. Other countries do also enjoy coffee and pastries or tea and cake but for the purposes of this blog, I am going to concentrate on the UK.
Being a subject which requires a great deal of research (!) it will be a record of my first hand experiences largely (but not exclusively) in the South of England. I am happy to eat cake ...anywhere so other regions will feature from time to time.
I am always looking for new places to try out so please feel free to add your recommendations/links in the comments box below.
As we are only just into the new year, I will start the blog with a few photos of a visit I made to Arundel Castle for the tulip festival a couple of years ago.

On that particular occasion I had visited with a friend and we managed to consume coffee/hot chocolate and scones see above in one of the town tea rooms and also lunch at the castle.
Arundel Castle has both a restaurant and a coffee shop in the Castle Servants Hall.
If memory serves me correctly the tea-and-scones were enjoyed at Cockburns Tea Rooms on the HIgh Street. They also have a shop in Midhurst.

Arundel is popular with visitors and does not lack for refreshment opportunities. Next up on my list of places to try out is the Swanbourne Lake Cafe (also in Arundel) Perhaps for a Springtime amble ?
