Ever since I joined the forum I have been itching to post a thread on the "Cricket Teas" section. Today we played Witney Swifts 2nds at home in one of the OCA cup semi finals. Normally everyone brings something towards the TEA and we have a rota on who brings what. But as we have just started Ramadan, and as I am the only non- Muslim, I decided I would make the tea.
So here is what I dished up for them
Chicken Biryani (my Indian wife's recipe)
Homemade Veg Samosa
Mexican Street Salad
Cheese and Onion Sandwiches
Cheese and Cucumber Sandwiches
Ham and Lettuce Sandwiches
Doritos
Crisps (Chilli & Lemon)
Homemade Chocolate Cake
Homemade Ginger Cake
Watermelon
Honey Dew Melon
Pineapple
Chocolate Tea Cake
and other odds and ends

n (i.e. the worst...) bank of England cc the only place where rock hard scones are a treat.

ive just joined the salavation army.

Sadly I didn't take any photographs but I was playing at Valley End CC this weekend and even the bread for the sandwiches was homemade....now that is someone who takes pride in their teas! Definitely one of the finest we've ever had! There was this chocolate cake contraption, sort of a brownie, sort of a cake which absolutely wiped out our opening attack...it was a tea to remember...!
-
Sleaford CC best teas i've ever had. Although Grantham 2XIs are a close 2nd
-
tried to bat after some superb teas in yorkshire, im sure the ladies in those villages have competitions and try to out do each other with their contributions.
always a pleasure to go and thank the tea ladies for a proper cricket tea.
we dont get teas in our league!

We had a cracking tea at Sleaford last Sunday! Had a really nice one at Moulton Harrox as well yesterday. Owmby do good teas, as do Cleethorpes!
-
Our teas are rubbish... the guy that does them can't even be called a cook, let alone a chef!
Locally though banstead and beddington have the best teas
-

Couldn't agree more! and also the sausage rolls and pies!

That's a club I played for when at school, Moulton! Remember bowling a twenty over spell thanks to them bringing a senior team to play an under eighteen team...
-
All I got this weekend was cold pizza and off-brand cola!
-
The Tea's at Temple Cloud CC are seriously the best! :D
-
That's because Kev and Simon need feeding id imagine!
-
Yeah you probably right lol
-
Will do a newer one the weekend as there is stuff missing from the spread like curry, filled yorkshire puddings, wraps and meats. Standard home game spread.

i'm coming to play for you
-
Agree Buzz, Bank of England gave the single worst teas known to man!
-
My club do a decent tea but the best teas I have experienced in the Worcester County league were provided by Alverley cc.
-
Two away games in a row: no milk and no teabags!!! What is village cricket coming too?
-
Our tea barely passes as fit for human consumption. Plates of sausages the same shade of grey as 1980's dog poo and frozen roast spuds. It is free though...
Sherston Magna CC did a cracker for us a few weeks back.
-
Ss we always seem to bowl first I'm not that bothered about the teas.After bowling 10+ overs usually on the bounce I just want a smoke and a brew

Well there may come a time when cricket teas become none existent.

True - but a cuppa?

If they get rid of teas I'm not playing!
The teas can be the highlight of some games :(

It is how I feel. On of our leagues clubs proposed teas be dropped. Thankfully it was not even seconded.
Had it become a rule I would probably have stopped playing Saturday's and just dropped to the shorter format games

It's great if you have good volunteers, I would be happy to see them go though, they are a bit old fashioned.

Lots of clubs seem to have difficulty getting someone to do teas what with the shopping the making and transporting also it's difficult to provide a decent tea for the money then what do you do with the food when matches are cancelled on match day before players have turned up did hear of a clubs not wanting to refund the money for the food brought when the match was cancelled telling the tea provider to use the food himself.

You drive 85 miles to an away game out in the sticks.
You get stuck in traffic at Stone Henge so arrive 20 minutes after the allocated start time.
Thankfully your skipper wins the toss and we bat first. We then fail to bat out the overs. You are run out in a "yeah, no, sh*t, sorry" call from the guy at the other end.
Teas are quality! Coronation chicken aplenty and enough cake to satisfy anyone, the first plus point of the day.
The opposition chase down the runs in 45 overs. There was a lot of time spent retrieving the ball from the fence.
Following the defeat and a trickle of cold water provided by the "shower" you have an 85 mile drive home.
While you were playing cricket you missed the first half of the champions league final.
That is what happened to us a few weeks ago. A day where tea was the highlight.
If teas weren't provided there's no way I was playing in that game!

Had a rainy day tea duty last year. Went for the lazy ploughman a (cut up the French sticks at the ground and open the packets, let people help themselves).
The sealed packets weren't an issue, but I was never going to eat 6 baguettes on my own!

Agreed - a good tea can lighten the darkest of days!
'How good one feels when one is full – how satisfied with ourselves and with the world! People who have tried it, tell me that a clear conscience makes you very happy and contented; but a full stomach does the business quite as well, and is cheaper, and more easily obtained. One feels so forgiving and generous after a substantial and well-digested meal – so noble-minded, so kindly-hearted.' Jerome K jerome

Sounds like: Three men in a Boat.

Now that's a proper tea.

You've obviously never played at Cheam, or at Imber Court...
-
Uhh, is this just an English thing? Closest thing we have for a 'tea' where I play is if the home team puts on a bbq after the game to encourage everyone to stay around for a beer or two. Looks like we are missing out! :(
-

And you can now add Kingstonian to the list - v poor indeed!!

Used to play a friendly T20 against Arup at North Middlesex CC's ground. It got washed out a couple of times, but the tea was always great and the beer flowed after the match.
-
I'm bringing back this thread and saying I can't wait for this seasons teas the first home game of the season the woman who makes them. Always makes far to much and nobody can run. The best thing she does is mini toad in the hole I don't know if she makes them or buys them but they are heavenly
-
Ho for the days when we sat down to tea and it was served on a plate with all the salad you could eat dressings etc laid out on the table and the players were waited on by the tea ladies who would also clear away the plates serve the puddings and drinks those were the days proper tea for ten bob.

Sorry, What?!? Why is this not mandatory across all cricketing teas!!!!
