Marks and Spencer cafes are known for their range of sandwiches and cakes, but the retailer has now confirmed it is launching a brand new afternoon tea offering for the first time in stores. The new afternoon tea will be available in selected M&S cafes from today, Monday March 13, from 2pm onwards.
M&S bosses say they are "delivering the magic of tea-time" with the new offering, launched in time for Mother’s Day which is Sunday, March 19. The afternoon tea will be priced at £12.50 which includes sandwiches, cakes, scones and a pot of tea.
M&S bosses are promising "five star quality" with its new afternoon tea. But at £12.50 it comes in at a vastly reduced figure than you would expect to pay for afternoon tea at luxury hotels across Manchester where traditional afternoon teas are priced around £25 - £30.
