Our first Real-Time Retreat on April 15, 2020 was a Town & Country visit to The Dorchester in London (“town”) and Coworth Park in Ascot (“country”), both Dorchester Collection Hotels.
We hope you’ll break out your fanciest hat, wear a dress or (for gentlemen) an ascot (how appropriate!), brew a pot of tea or pour yourself some bubbly, and use the recipes below to create scones and/or sandwiches... and let’s fly away to beautiful England together!
The lovely Nuria Candel will be leading us through our “Town & Country” tour next week and showing us two of her stunning Dorchester Collection properties.
She’s been with Dorchester Collection for five years. Nuria lives in Atlanta, GA, and is a certified scuba diver.

While saddened we can’t welcome you to Coworth Park this Easter, Executive Chef at Coworth Park Adam Smith shares his special scone and egg and cress finger sandwich recipes so you can recreate your own tea party at home.
A classic tradition and a well-loved custom, no afternoon tea is complete without gorgeously fluffy scones and finger sandwiches. Creating your own afternoon tea at home is the perfect way to mark a special occasion or simply while away an afternoon.
Most ingredients included are items you’ll likely already have in the cupboard, so they are also really easy items to make. I’m confident that once you’ve tried this recipe it will be one you come back to time and again. Just add a pot of tea!
Scones are a British staple, they’re relatively easy to make and never better than when fresh from the oven. Whether you put your jam or your cream first just make sure there is plenty of both!
Serve straight away with clotted cream and any flavour jam you have.
I’ll let you decide which should go first!
Egg and cress sandwiches are one of the country’s most traditional and beloved accompaniments to afternoon tea. They are as classic and simple as they come, but done well they are fantastic! Being vegetarian friendly they are a real crowd pleaser and perfect for both adults and kids.
Cut into triangles or rectangles (whichever you prefer) and enjoy!
Kelly McAlister of Maui Jim will be with us on the calls each week as judge and jury to see which planner really goes all-in with the theme. So engage, be creative, and have fun... and you may be the winner!
She’ll be doing some gifting that will surely lift your shelter-in-place spirits!
