Celebrate British Food Fortnight with a quintessentially British afternoon tea hamper from 123 Hampers, filled with nostalgic favourites and Yorkshire-made treats.
Few food traditions are quite as quintessentially British as afternoon tea. From dainty scones and strawberry preserve to a proper cup of tea, it is a much-loved ritual built around the simple pleasure of pausing, putting the kettle on and gathering around the table.
This British Food Fortnight, 123 Hampers is celebrating the nation’s enduring love of afternoon tea with its Afternoon Tea Gift Hamper – a generously filled collection designed to bring a little taste of traditional British indulgence into the home.
Taking place from 26 September to 11 October, British Food Fortnight returns for its 25th anniversary year, shining a spotlight on the quality and variety of British food, as well as the traditions and regional producers that make the nation’s food culture so distinctive.
And if there is one British food tradition made for sharing, it’s afternoon tea.
The Afternoon Tea Gift
Bring the British tradition of afternoon tea to life at home with this beautifully presented hamper, filled with a tempting selection of sweet and savoury favourites from across the UK.
Inside, you’ll find traditional sultana scones paired with Rodda’s Cornish Clotted Cream and Tiptree Strawberry Preserve from Essex, alongside Yorkshire Tea and a tempting selection of sweet treats made by artisan bakers in the Yorkshire countryside, including hand-iced flower biscuits, lemon drizzle cake and chocolate orange cake.
