Being British, who doesn’t love a spot of afternoon tea every now and then? With a number of restaurants offering a broad variety of festive themed treats, we just had to share a few of our favourites.
So if you’re a sucker for sweet things and enjoy dining out then look no further as we’ve complied you a list of the top Christmas afternoon teas to die for.
Dalloway Terrace
Just when we thought dining at Dalloway Terrace couldn’t get any better following a gorgeous floral filled terrace throughout the summer, winter at Dalloway Terrace arrives. The famous terrace has been transformed into what can only be described as a Narnia themed wonderland.
The menu is created exclusively by Afternoon Tea of the Year Finalist, Chris Dodd. If you’re looking for somewhere to soak up a great atmosphere (whilst staying warm thanks to their fluffy blankets) then Dalloway Terrace is the perfect option.
The Ritz
As it’s the festive season there’s even more of a reason to go extra fancy and allow yourself and others to indulge in some luxury. The Ritz, offering a gorgeous afternoon tea set in The Palm Court, is this year decorated in an enchanting Edwardian themed winter wonderland.
If you’re seeking a special experience or looking to treat those all important people in your life, then this choice of afternoon tea will not disappoint.
Biscuiteers
Biscuiteers specialises in hand iced biscuits and their Christmas afternoon tea looks pretty special too. It offers a slight twist on traditional afternoon tea, providing a selection of the Christmas Biscuiteers iconic biscuits and seasonal treats including salted caramel brownie and mini frangipan mince pies.
