Weekend Afternoon Tea

THE_W__118

Celebrate a British institution with a classic afternoon tea

A quintessential custom made popular in 1840 by the Duchess of Bedford, whose daily tea and cake ritual soon became a fashionable social event.

We pay homage to this elegant staple between-lunch-and-dinner with a menu selection that includes classic cream teas and full celebratory options, every weekend 12pm-5pm. Enjoy this British tradition alongside live music, with our resident pianist on Saturdays and live jazz on the mezzanine on Sundays.

In celebration of Afternoon Tea Week (11th – 17th August) our Afternoon Tea menu will be available all week, 12pm – 5pm.

Timeless with a Twist

Our scones, cakes and finger sandwiches are all made in-house by our talented pastry team, and served alongside an extensive tea selection, from Classic English Breakfast and Earl Grey to Jasmine Bud and Green tea.

And for those who’d like to tailor their afternoon tea experience, we also offer a selection of sweet and savoury treats and desserts, from our classic Battenberg to a delicate Millefeuille, which can simply be enjoyed on their own, perhaps with a warming pot of tea or a glass of champagne.
