THE MENUS

A menu for every taste

Choose from Traditional, Vegetarian, Vegan/Dairy-free, Low Gluten and low-gluten & dairy-free options; each menu pairs freshly prepared finger sandwiches with fruit scones and a selection of cakes and sweet treats.

THE DRINKS

Bottomless tea or coffee

Every Afternoon Tea includes bottomless tea or coffee served throughout the session, underpinning the leisurely, communal pace of the experience.

DIETARY CONSIDERATIONS

Low-gluten option with a caveat

A Low Gluten Afternoon Tea is available, but the operator handles and bakes with gluten onsite; while cross-contamination is minimised, a small risk remains and the menu is therefore labelled Low Gluten.

What the day feels like

What the experience feels like

This is a relaxed, indoor seated experience that unfolds over roughly 90 minutes: guests are served a sequence of freshly prepared sandwiches, a fruit scone with clotted cream and jam, and a selection of cakes and sweet treats while tea or coffee is replenished. The emphasis is on home-baked flavours and a convivial pace suitable for conversation and lingering.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this Afternoon Tea suits — and a caution for some diners.

2
Vegans & Dairy-free dinersVegan and dairy-free menus are available with plant-based sandwich fillings and sweet treats, allowing dairy-free enjoyment of the Afternoon Tea.
3
Gluten-sensitive dinersA Low Gluten menu is offered, but because gluten is handled and baked on-site a small risk of cross-contamination persists; the operator therefore labels the menu Low Gluten rather than gluten-free.
