<p>No afternoon tea would be complete without delicate finger sandwiches. For a creative veggie option, try our <a href="/recipes/carrot-raisin-sandwiches">carrot & raisin sandwiches</a> with a dollop of hummus. Go for a classic <a href="/recipes/just-egg-sandwiches">egg mayonnaise</a> on white bread for an afternoon tea staple – you can even prep the filling one day ahead of time and leave in the fridge until you’re ready to use it. Make a zesty summer sandwich with our <a href="/recipes/afternoon-tea-sandwiches">lemony cucumber & prawn bites</a> or a creamy <a href="/recipes/afternoon-tea-sandwiches">goat’s cheese, walnut & roasted pepper</a> sandwich on white bread.</p>
<p>If dainty isn’t your thing, this <a href="/recipes/reuben-sandwich">Reuben sandwich</a> makes a chunky addition to any party spread. Add even more bold flavours to your plate with our <a href="/recipes/spiced-chicken-onion-bhaji-sandwich-with-tamarind-mayo">spiced chicken & onion bhaji sandwich with tamarind mayo</a>.</p>
