Askham Bryan Cricket Club

Pies and sausage rolls are a must.
A good selection of sandwiches including egg are essential.
I once played at a club where there were always coffee cakes and victoria sponges, which was a nice touch.
Cheese board.

More vegetarian options. And not always cheese and egg. Necessity is the mother of invention.

How about some nice dips with crudités? Houmous, guacamole, mint yoghurt… actually that takes me onto something I've never seen at a cricket tea but would be highly welcome: Poppadums with – mango chutney, mint yoghurt, chopped onions and that other dodgy one.

Or some more inventive sandwiches – Mis still made the finest sandwiches ever seen at a cricket tea. The good old days of BYO at Yorkshire Gentlemen!

Poppadums eh. Now there's a thought. Good idea with keeping the lime pickle out of it (I presume this is the "dodgy one") – I wouldn't fancy batting after eating that.

Sausages and mustard. Very contemporary! Those are a definite winner in my book. We could even server them with a "selection of dips" (if we include ketchup). Linda McCartney sausages for the Copeland.
