Celebrate a quintessentially British past-time with a modern twist & indulge in a spot of Afternoon Tea with Bubbly for Two. Afternoon tea has been a British institution since Anna Maria Russell
- the seventh Duchess of Bedford
- asked her footman to bring her a pot of tea with light refreshment one afternoon in 1840. The ritual caught on & afternoon tea became the corner stone of high society dining. These days taking tea as a light afternoon meal has become much more accessible, without losing a crumb of its wonderful charm. This experience offers you & a guest the opportunity to indulge in a sumptuous selection of sweet & savoury treats with tea & bubbly in some of the most lavish hotels & tea rooms in the country. With a wide selection of carefully h&-picked afternoon tea locations to choose from, there’s a venue to please all for any occasion. Whether you’re looking for an elegant country manor house or a trendy boutique city hotel to enjoy a stylish & sophisticated dining experience, or for a more relaxed & contemporary affair, maybe a homely independent tearoom is more your thing. Wherever you choose, you are spoilt for afternoon tea locations to pick from. Your afternoon tea may vary slightly depending on which location you have chosen. You could be treated to a pleasing array of freshly made finger sandwiches, yummy scones served with cream & jam, or even something quite unique like a trio of burgers.
