In England, afternoon tea, taken between four and five, is the most informal meal of the day.
If you are a friend of the family, you may drop in for tea without an invitation or telling that you are coming. Very often it is not served at a table. The members of the family and visitors take tea in the sitting room. Each person has a cup and saucer, a spoon and a small plate for bread and butter and cake.
By the way, do not help yourself to cake first; bread and butter first, then cake, if there is any. Another piece of advice is that: Do not put more than one piece of bread or cake on your plate at the same time.
