Afternoon Tea

Did you know this tea-related ritual was introduced in the early 1840s to Britain by Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford and evolved as a mini meal to ward off hunger?

Afternoon Tea conjures up the simple pleasures of a bygone era, fine bone china, cucumber sandwiches and Victoria sponge. It offers that little bit of decadence for today's discerning guests, but delightfully affordable.

From the sandwiches cut into fingers, to the mini cakes and scones - is it jam or cream first? All washed down with tea or bubbles... what’s not to love about an Afternoon Tea?

Did you know that there's even a week celebrating Afternoon Tea each year? It runs 12th - 18th August 2024 #AfternoonTeaWeek
