Sweet creams
are made
of this.

Honest, tongue in cheek cream tea reviews from a man who is, tragically, lactose intolerant. He does it so you don't have to. Well, so you can. Mostly in Cheltenham and the Cotswolds.

The hall of fame… and shame

Lee sipping tea with a scone in hand, 2017
Feb 2017. The one that started it all.

Meet the critic

“My name is Cream Tea Lee. I like to occasionally do a Cream Tea review… It's a tongue in cheek, pinky out platform for all things scone related. Content about scones. Scone-tent.”

“I like to put the cream on first. I don't care if you're from Cornwall, Devon or the outer bloody Hebrides, I'll do what I want.”

Likes: fruit scones, clotted cream that is actually clotted, Tiptree, a lie down afterwards. Dislikes: toffee cream, plastic pots, lollies without sticks.
