Afternoon Tea in Kensington Gardens

We can also arrange a traditional Afternoon Tea in the park, complete with delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with Devonshire clotted cream and preserves, French pastries, fruitcake, strawberries with cream, a pot of tea of your choice, and perhaps with a bottle of Champagne – you decide! An Afternoon Tea or Picnic Feast can be altered to cater to your specific dietary requirements, starting from £95 for two people or £145 for Champagne.
