or for those being a little more adventurous stay for HIGH TEA

HIGH TEA (also known as meat tea) is an early evening meal, typically eaten between 5pm and 7pm. It is now largely followed by a lighter meal later in the evening.

HIGH TEA typically consists of a hot dish such as fish and chips, shepherd's pie, or macaroni cheese, followed by cakes and bread, butter and jam. Occasionally there would be cold cuts of meat, such as ham salad. Traditionally high tea was eaten by middle to UPPER class children (whose parents would have a more formal dinner later) or by labourers, miners and the like when they came home from work. The term was first used around 1825 and HIGH is used in the sense of WELL-ADVANCED (like HIGH noon, for example) to signify that it was taken later in the day.
