Their Jam First Cornish Cream Tea is beautifully presented and served daily. It comes with two homemade scones with Cornish clotted cream and strawberry jam with tea or coffee. Their Little Bit Fancy St Michaels Afternoon Tea is served on Saturday between noon and 2 pm in the Brasserie on the Bay restaurant - and can be made extra special with a glass of prosecco or champagne. New head chef, Darren Kerley said, “St Michaels Resort afternoon tea is a delicious culinary tradition involving freshly baked scones, adorned with locally sourced preserves and dollops of rich Cornish clotted cream. Here in Cornwall, we’re big believers in spreading your scone with jam first and then topping it with a layer of clotted cream, but as long as our guests enjoy every bite, we don’t mind!” Relax, restore and revive in the luxury spa, home to the largest hydrothermal pool in the South West. It also boasts relaxation areas, treatment rooms and bespoke treatments by expert therapists. Luxury Spa Day packages include an Elemis Pampering Treat from £185, a Twilight spa experience from £85 and a Detox Retox from £75. There’s also a Coastal Wellness package plus a Couples Spa Day, all designed to relax, revitalise and restore the mind, body and soul. www.stmichaelsresort.com www.instagram.com/stmichaelsresort www.facebook.com/stmichaelsresort PRE-WEDDING PAMPERING 55
