Discover our Delectable Afternoon Tea Options
In 1830, the Duchess of Bedford inadvertently invented afternoon tea, after experiencing hunger pangs in the late afternoon. She retired to her room, requesting that someone deliver a tray of tea and bread. This soon became a tradition in Britain (mostly with women who would use it to curb their hunger whilst they waited for the men to return home from work).
We served our very first afternoon tea here at The Chester Grosvenor in 1852 - and have been delighting our guests with variations ever since.
We serve traditional afternoon tea, an Indulgent Champagne Afternoon Tea, a Gentleman’s Afternoon Tea, and a Gentleman’s Indulgent Afternoon Tea. The variety of options ensures that there’s a dining experience to suit each of our guests. The Drawing Room is also available to hire for private afternoon tea experiences for up to 14 guests.
Our traditional afternoon teas offer a selection of sandwiches, scones, pastries and fancies, served with your choice of tea. The indulgent package also includes a glass of Champagne, served with clotted cream and strawberries.
Our Gentleman’s Afternoon Tea offers a twist on the classic menu. In place of traditional sandwiches is coronation chicken on spiced curry bread, haddock bloomers and French onion tarts. The indulgent option includes a refreshing glass of gin and tonic.
Whether you're spending quality time with a loved one, or are celebrating a special occasion, our afternoon teas are a wonderful treat. They're available Wednesday to Sunday; we recommend booking in advance.

The Westminster Suite has flexible spaces that can cater from 30 to 200, or the luxuriously comfortable Arkle restaurant is available for private hire for parties of up to 40 people. Our executive chef, Elliot Hill, will prepare an array of mouthwatering dishes, and our sommelier will then help you pair each course with a complementary wine.
