It has long been said that the ceremony of taking afternoon tea began once-upon-a-time during the early 19th century, when it was more usual to only consume whilst taking breakfast, or with the evening meal each day.
However, the 7th Duchess of Bedford would partake in having a light snack with a pot of tea during the mid-afternoon, when she often experienced some feelings of weariness. Soon after, she began inviting her lady friends to join her for this afternoon experience; usually held in her drawing room. It quickly became a very fashionable and sociable affair amongst the high society.
On any fine given spring, summer or autumn day, the ceremony of afternoon tea would move from the drawing room and into the garden, adding a new and delightful experience. Wherever performed, this ritual was the perfect solution to the mid-afternoon slump, and so the trend caught on and is with us to this day.
We welcome you to join us in this ritual celebration of tea, our talented baker provides the culinary delights of mouth-watering dainty sandwiches, tasty cakes and warm scones with sweet jam and lashings of clotted cream, all created and presented to excite the taste buds and gladden the eye.
