This year, celebrate Afternoon Tea Week from 11 to 17 August with two unique afternoon teas from Jumeirah Carlton Tower and Brighton’s iconic vegetarian restaurant, Terre à Terre.
Offering a unique twist on the quintessential British tradition, both experiences promise to surprise and delight with every bite.
Pay tribute to nature at Jumeirah Carlton Tower
Inspired by the beauty of Cadogan Gardens and under the direction of Executive Pastry Chef Martin Haider, Jumeirah Carlton Tower’s afternoon tea pays tribute to the gardens’ quiet splendour and rich history. Beginning with a vibrant amuse-bouche, the experience then delves into a selection of savoury sandwiches, before taking diners on a journey through the signature Scone Experience, wrapping up with intricate sweet treats infused with seasonal botanicals such as elderberry, lavender, and cherry blossom. This reimagined afternoon tea offers a truly luxurious experience, celebrating the beauty of the seasons in every element.
Enjoy a creative twist on the traditional at Terre à Terre
For something a little more adventurous, Terre à Terre offers a zesty and creative spin on the classic afternoon tea. With vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options to choose from, this innovative tea features global-inspired delights including bao buns with Szechuan-marinated halloumi or tofu, and indulgent sweet treats such as a delightful chocolate hazelnut truffle cake. Perfect for those who love bold flavours and unique combinations, this scrumptious afternoon tea is a celebration of creativity and sustainable dining, with every detail crafted to delight.
Whether opting for the sophisticated elegance of Jumeirah Carlton Tower or the playful, plant-based delights of Terre à Terre, both teas promise to make this Afternoon Tea Week an unforgettable experience for all.
