Hello there and welcome to the final episode in our three part miniseries on how to host a Brit for dinner here on the British English podcast.
I'm Charlie Baxter, your guide to all things British.
And today we're wrapping up things with a bit of hood for those with a sweet tooth and a cuppa for those who truly deserve it.
We've already gone through how to invite a Brit for dinner, what to serve for the main course, and how to keep the conversation flowing.
Now it's time to talk about dessert, drinks, and how to master the delicate art of ending the evening on a high note.
From what to serve for pudding to why tea might actually be the perfect way to wrap up the night, I'll be sharing all the final touches to ensure your guests leave feeling satisfied and well hosted.
So grab a seat, perhaps a biscuit or two, and let's get into this final chapter on how to host a Brit like a Brit.
Now, if you remember, the table has just been cleared of the main course, drinks have perhaps been topped up, and then, depending on how well the conversation is flowing, you either bring out the dessert immediately after or you wait a bit and let their stomachs settle.
In fact, don't be afraid to ask for the general mood of the room.
Obviously, don't ask, are we having fun?
Do we prolong this social dance?
No more about how stuffed they feel.
So go with, do we want dessert now or in a bit or how full we feeling, guys?
Ready for dessert yet?
Or do we want a bit of a breather before pudding?
Something along those lines.
Now, if you have dessert options, you could tell them what they are and then just bring them that thing rather than bringing all of them out.
But if you want to impress them, then bring them all out and say, what we having, darling?
No, don't just say, david, can I tempt you with some crumble or some brownie or a bit of everything, maybe?
Yeah, we do like to mix it up.
