High Tea

High Tea is a traditional British meal typically served in the late afternoon or early evening. Unlike afternoon tea, which is a lighter, more elegant affair with tea and small sweets or sandwiches, high tea is more substantial, often including heartier dishes like meats, pies, and breads, alongside tea. It originally catered to the working class who needed a filling meal after a long day. High tea is sometimes mistakenly called afternoon tea, but it has a more casual, rustic character, reflecting its roots in the everyday lives of people.
