What’s new in afternoon tea land?

If you crave tea and cake around 4 o’clock in the afternoon, we’ve got two offers to appeal to your sweet tooth.

For tea in a location as close to an English garden as you will find in the UAE, head to The Farm at Al Barari, where their new afternoon tea includes sandwiches and desserts such as goji berry scones served with fresh clotted cream and homemade jams. It’s from 3.45-6pm, Dh125 per head or Dh230 for two. Call 04-3925660.

In Downtown, Fortnum and Mason is celebrating its second anniversary with the Tea for Two offer, from April 1-30: Tea and cake for two for Dh200, plus a gift from the teahouse to take home; call 04-3882627.
