Cartwright & Butler's Platinum Jubilee range was too good to last until the 'blockbuster' Bank Holiday weekend.
The luxury hamper specialist has introduced the limited-edition line to mark the reign of our longest-serving monarch and we had the very difficult job of trying it.
In the mouthwatering range, you'll find everything you need to posh up your cuppa or to give your afternoon tea the regal treatment.
Here's everything you need to know about the range to stock up before the regal day arrives.
Cartwright & Butler's Platinum Jubilee range - a review
Cartwright & Butler's Tea with the Queen Hamper
While the Queen didn't make a surprise visit to my tea and biscuits filled afternoon - this hamper was a treat enough.
The Tea with the Queen Hamper comes with everything you could possibly want to posh up your cuppa.
The beautifully presented tin contains the following:
- Triple Chocolate Chunk Biscuits
- Demerara Shortbread Rounds
- Milk Chocolate Chunk Biscuits
- Classic Butter Fudge
- Classic Earl Grey Tea Bags
- Café York Fine Blend Coffee
All of which should have lasted longer than they did!
If you like a classic cookie, the Milk Chocolate Chunk Biscuits will not disappoint and if you go crazy for chocolate - you won't be able to stop munching the Triple Chocolate Chunk Biscuits.
We have a real soft spot for fudge so that was a lovely and creamy touch to the hamper.
We kept finding ourselves reaching for the biscuit jar since the treats are incredibly rich and more-ish.
The Earl Grey Tea and Coffee rounded up the set perfectly and were ideal for all of our dunking needs!
Get your Tea with the Queen Hamper set for £30 via the Cartwright & Butler website.
