What's for Tea at The Channel Bass Inn

Afternoon tea is usually a four-course affair. The first course is something savoury, perhaps tea sandwiches or cheese scones. The “world-famous” scones come next, with butter, jam and cream of course. Guests are able to sample several different kinds, the ginger scone being the most popular at the moment. The third course may be the decadent chocolate trifle, or butterscotch pecan tart, or Apfelkuchen (German apple cake) or pound cake with blueberries, strawberries and cream. For those hearty eaters, Barbara offers an additional tidbit – a jam tart, a macaroon, a butter “biscuit” (cookie), or maybe even a stuffed monkey!

 

The Famous Tea Room of Chincoteague Bed and Breakfast - The Channel Bass Inn

P.S. You may have noticed in our description of our Tea Room that there is no mention made of “High Tea”. As a Brit, I have to tell you that in the United Kingdom a high tea is a "working man’s supper" which would be served to the whole family at 5.30 or thereabouts when the master of the house came home from work.  It would consist of endless pots of tea, a loaf of fresh bread, butter, cheese maybe, cake of some description, and would include something hearty such as pork pie and chips (french fries), or maybe steak and kidney pudding. This certainly bears no resemblance to the “high teas” served in the posh hotels over here. In the UK it would be unlikely to drink alcohol at that meal - the men would go to the pub down the street for their pint of ale. No champagne or sherry, that's for sure. And when the pubs close, it would be traditional to pick up a late night supper from the fish and chip shop on the way home! ~ Barbara
