Afternoon Tea at The Ritz Rediscovers its British Roots

We are delighted to re-launch our famous Afternoon Tea, with a fresh take on this much-loved British pastime. An institution and a national treasure, Afternoon Tea at The Ritz is a rare and wonderful tradition that has stood the test of time, consistently evolving to meet the desires of an ever more discerning palate.

A new menu, inspired by our British heritage and the discerning tastes of the 21st century Anglophile's palate, invites diners to join a journey of the senses where the once simple yet elegant smoked salmon sandwich is enhanced with lemon-infused butter between freshly baked rye bread; the humble cucumber sandwich bursts with flavour, layered with a dill and chive seasoning and mouth-watering caraway seed bread; rich cheddar cheese fuses with sweet chutney and sticky onion bread; and the down-to-earth ham sandwich reaches gastronomic heaven with homemade grain mustard mayonnaise and guilt-rich thick white bread.

To accompany, a new selection of the finest pastries Great Britain has to offer, lovingly created in-house by a team of skilled pastry chefs who are dedicated solely to the preparation of Afternoon Tea. Diners become immersed in a sweet fantasy of Raspberry and Rosewater Macaroons, Chocolate and Hazelnut Sponge cake, Meringue Chantilly, Vanilla Custard Slice, rich Victoria Sponge and traditional Dundee Cake, presented and served from a brimming trolley, perfectly suited to the theatrical surroundings of the lavishly decorated Palm Court and its swathes of butter-yellow and 24-carat gold leaf.

Accompanied by warm raisin and apple scones and a selection of 17 varieties of loose leaf teas, Traditional Afternoon Tea and Champagne Afternoon Tea are priced at £42 and £54 per person respectively.
