Themed Afternoon Tea in Nottingham
Afternoon tea is a great British tradition, but although we have been enjoying a cup of tea in England since the 1660s, the much-loved addition of sandwiches and cake was first introduced in 1840 by Anna the Seventh Duchess of Bedford who got rather peckish each day around 4 o’clock in the afternoon. These days, elaborate afternoon tea has been replaced by a quick tea-bag cuppa and a dry biscuit. However, if you want to partake in proper afternoon tea, Nottingham boasts the stunning Byron’s Brasserie at Colwick Hall Hotel.
At Colwick Hall Hotel in Nottingham, afternoon tea is something of an event. Our traditional afternoon tea consists of a selection of finger sandwiches, unique chef’s savouries and a selection of cakes and desserts, including of course the hallowed scone with jam and clotted Cornish cream. Guests can relax and enjoy their afternoon in the stately surroundings of Colwick Hall Hotel, once home to Lord Byron the great poet himself. This also makes a great Gift Experience https://colwick-hall.giftvoucherbrilliance.co.uk/
Winter Traditional Afternoon Tea
Join us this January for our next traditional afternoon tea.
Our selection of finger sandwiches to go alongside a frosty afternoon include, ham and piccalilli, cream cheese and cucumber, tuna mayonnaise, and our favourite, the roasted tarragon chicken mayo.
Brave the cold with a wonderfully warm winter vegetable soup as well as a chive and cracked pepper shortbread to complete the savoury tier.
Not to forget the sweet selection, the lemon drizzle cake, and choc chip muffin with chocolate frosting are the stars of the show alongside our classic home made scones with clotted cream and fruit preserve.
