History of Afternoon Tea

Afternoon Tea is a cherished British tradition that dates back to the early 19th century. Introduced by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in 1840, it was created as a delightful solution to the long gap between lunch and dinner. What began as a private afternoon refreshment soon evolved into a fashionable social event, with elegant finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones, and delicate pastries becoming staples of this beloved ritual.

Over time, afternoon tea became a symbol of sophistication, enjoyed in grand hotels, charming tea rooms, and country houses across England. Today, it remains a quintessential experience, blending tradition with indulgence. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply treating yourself, afternoon tea offers the perfect opportunity to relax, sip, and savour a timeless delight.

"One of the best Afternoon Teas I can say I've had"

Had a lovely Afternoon Tea with friends, fantastic price, fantastic quality all with beautiful river view. One of the best Afternoon Teas I can say I've had. Good quality and choice. Couldn't eat it all and they were happy to give little boxes to take away left overs. Would highly recommend.
