We’re celebrating British Food Fortnight with a quintessentially British afternoon tea hamper, filled with nostalgic favourites and Yorkshire-made treats.

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.

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, we’re celebrating the nation’s enduring love of afternoon tea with our Afternoon Tea Gift Hamper – a generously filled collection designed to bring a little taste of traditional British indulgence into the home, including Yorkshire-made baked treats, scones, preserves, Yorkshire Tea and Lincolnshire Cheddar.

Whether it’s a thoughtful gift for family and friends or a treat to enjoy at home, it makes celebrating British Food Fortnight easy. Simply unpack, put the kettle on and enjoy a taste of Britain at your table – with, of course, the obligatory debate over how to assemble the perfect scone.

The Afternoon Tea Gift

Beautifully presented in a Valley Bakery gift box, the hamper makes a thoughtful treat for friends and family or the perfect centrepiece for a special afternoon tea at home. The Afternoon Tea Gift is available with free next day delivery across the UK and Northern Ireland. RRP: £40
