There is regional debate when it comes to the assembling of scones, Devonshire style is clotted cream first, then strawberry jam (left) Cornish style is strawberry jam first, then clotted cream (right).
A Cream Tea consists of tea served with scones, clotted cream and strawberry jam.
Afternoon tea consists of tea served with three courses, eaten in the order of sandwiches, scones (served with clotted cream and strawberry jam) and cakes/petit fours (also known as the sweet course). Small savoury items may be added to the sandwich course.
A Royal tea is afternoon tea served with champagne.
It is thought highly hospitable to provide at least two types of tea to guests.
