  • Tip Rating:

  • The cream tea is considered the regional dish of Devon. This dish, almost a meal in itself, has now been adopted by many of the country's tourist regions - but to be really savoured needs to be sampled in the Westcountry. There are many places which advertise 'cream teas', but the real ones you'll only find in Devon.

    A 'Cream-Tea' consists of 2 scones, warm out of the oven, with home-made strawberry jam, and clotted cream. And a pot of Tea.

    A cream tea cannot be considered as such unless there is cream and the type of cream that should be used is clotted cream.

    Originally, clotted cream was only produced in the Westcountry - this is where the rich soil, mild climate and the right breed of cattle came together to create milk with a high enough cream content to produce clotted cream.

    Even today when clotted cream is in greater demand (and available at supermarkets!) it will almost always be made in Devon (or Cornwall, Somerset).
