The restaurant serves a traditional afternoon tea, usually by reservation. We list London's afternoon tea restaurants above.
Afternoon tea is a set, tiered menu of sandwiches, scones and pastries served with tea, typically at a fixed time slot in the afternoon rather than as part of the regular lunch or dinner menu. Seafood-focused afternoon teas sometimes swap in items like smoked salmon or shrimp finger sandwiches.
Book well ahead, particularly at hotel restaurants, since afternoon tea sittings are usually limited to fixed time slots and fill up faster than standard dinner reservations. A seafood-leaning afternoon tea, built around smoked salmon, potted shrimp or a small oyster course, is a distinctly London take on the format and worth seeking out over a standard tea menu if you're a seafood fan.
