At the end of March, I had to take annual leave. There was nothing else to do as we were still in complete lockdown, and all restaurants, shops, and attractions were completely shut. Instead of wasting a day of annual leave doing nothing, I decided to treat myself to afternoon tea at home. Sure, it's not quite the same as going out; I had to provide my own tea and sparkling wine, music, and clean up afterwards. However, the food preparation was done for me. I ordered the afternoon tea from Pinner cafe Foodie Wuwdies, a cafe that I had previously visited earlier in the month during a lunch walk. I enjoyed the lunch and decided to order afternoon tea.
The afternoon tea came with a selection of four different types of sandwich, scones with clotted cream and jam, and a small selection of pastries. I ordered a selection of ham, salmon and cream cheese, chicken salad, and cheese and tomato sandwiches. The scones came prepared with clotted cream and jam on top.
The sweet pastries included passionfruit macaroons, strawberry or raspberry flavoured chocolates, lemon cake, and black forest cake (cherry and chocolate) dusted with powdered sugar.
Overall, the food was very good. I prefered the savouries on this occassion, but the scones, macaroon and the chocolate were very nice as well. I will definitely be re-visiting the cafe again the next time I am in Pinner.
For those considering ordering, they do takeaways, but these have to be picked up as they do not deliver. If you are in northwest London, I recommend it.
