British Tea Party?

[Naiwen]

What do you Brits usually have to eat at a British Tea party? I have been to 1 personally and I've had sandwiches, tea, coffee and scones and trumpets. And you in the UK personally?

I live in the UK.
Two main types:
Afternoon tea - pot of tea, variety of sandwiches, pastries, small cakes and perhaps scones. Usually shared (well it would be a lot for one person to eat).

Cream tea - scones cut in half with clotted cream and jam; cream on top if you are in Cornwall, jam on top if you are in Devon. I don't think there is a custom elsewhere.

I go the Cornish way.

P.S. I hope you meant crumpets not trumpets.

Oops, typo yes.
