Afternoon Tea FAQs

What is included in afternoon tea?

A three-tier service of tea sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and berry preserves, and sweets from our pastry team, with a pot of Artemis tea chosen from the current menu. The menu changes with the season.

When is it served?

Daily, 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, in the Fontenelle Tea Room.

How long should we plan for?

Most tables take about 90 minutes. You are welcome to stay longer, and we would rather you did.

How far in advance should I book?

Reservations are through OpenTable and we recommend booking one to two weeks ahead, further out for weekends, holidays, and Mother's Day.

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes. Note vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy needs in your reservation at least 48 hours in advance and our kitchen will build the service around them.

Are children welcome?

Yes. Our menu always includes an herbal non caffeinated tea option.

What should I wear?

Come as you like. Most guests dress the way they would for a nice lunch, and some treat it as a reason to dress up.

Do you serve champagne?

Yes. Moët & Chandon Brut NV is available by the glass, and it goes particularly well with the scone course.

Can I take the tea home?

Yes. Every blend we pour is made by hand by Artemis Tea & Botanical, and their shop is directly across the street from the hotel.

Do I need to be a hotel guest?

No. The Fontenelle Tea Room is open to everyone.
