A hotel which was recently added to the Michelin Hotel Guide has launched afternoon tea with a twist. 

The offering is available at the Crown and Caste in Orford, an award-winning restaurant with rooms located just a few steps from the 12th century Orford Castle.

Instead of classic finger sandwiches often found on an afternoon tea spread, the hotel has opted for a twist and instead offer a selection of open sandwiches.

Sandwich toppings include ham with grain mustard and cornichons, Pinney's smoked salmon, and boiled egg with truffle mayonnaise.
