Did you know that Afternoon Tea was initially developed as a private social event for ladies who were of high society. It was only when Queen Victoria engaged in the Afternoon Tea ritual that it became a formal occasion on a larger scale, known as ‘tea receptions’. It evolved as a mini meal to stem the hunger and anticipation of an evening meal at 8pm. Afternoon Tea is a meal composed of sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, sweet pastries and cakes
Afternoon Tea has now become a social event whether it’s just a gathering of friends & family getting together for a catch up, celebrating a birthday, engagement, hen party or baby shower.
Hamiltons Afternoon Tea has a selection of savoury and sweet treats. Our new spinach wrap filled with tandoori spiced chicken, red onion, bell pepper & mayonnaise, including a traditional smoked salmon & cucumber finger sandwich, classic homemade fruit scone with clotted cream & strawberry preserve and a selection of chef’s homemade treats.
Hamiltons don’t only offer Afternoon Tea for the Ladies, we have created our exclusive Gentlemen’s Afternoon Tea. This platter is based on more masculine meaty, savoury options, featuring our new spinach wrap filled with tandoori spiced chicken, red onion, bell pepper & mayonnaise, cajun spiced chicken and prawn skewer, black pudding scotch egg, mini beef and pickled gherkin burger, spicy parmesan fries also there is that need for a little sweetness so there are a few traditional sweet treats including classic homemade fruit scone with clotted cream & strawberry preserve
