Waitrose Weekend columnist Martha Collison has created a festive afternoon tea menu full of spices, marzipan and Christmas flavours. You can easily make most of it in advance, and all that’s left to do when your guests arrive is to put the kettle on. We’ve carefully selected tea, coffee and bubbly to match, plus curated the best John Lewis products to display your bakes and dress your table.
