Important Unique Tips

• You must dress according to the venue dress code. For instance, the hotels require you to dress smart casual, and no flips flop.
• Scones must be broken apart first. Then, clotted cream must be spread on top of the scones before the jam is applied. However, Cornish tradition is vice versa.
• Keep your pinky finger down while holding a teacup.
