Afternoon Tea Awards 2026: Best Contemporary Afternoon Tea Winner
About
Created for the festive season, The Traveller’s Afternoon Tea brings together the ritual of a quintessentially British afternoon tea with flavours and inspiration gathered from journeys near and far.
Begin with an elegant blue lobster, caviar and lemon verbena tartlet before discovering a collection of savouries including festive Maldon-cured smoked salmon, Coronation Norfolk black-leg chicken and Highland Wagyu pastrami.
A dedicated scone experience follows, before seasonal pâtisserie and a warming spiced hot chocolate complete the journey.
From chocolate and kumquat to pistachio, pear, fig and walnut, every detail offers another destination to discover
Served in a calm and intimate lounge space, the experience is designed for unhurried moments, whether marking a special occasion or simply enjoying an afternoon well spent. Pair your selection with a carefully chosen range of teas, or elevate the occasion with a glass of something sparkling as you take in the relaxed atmosphere.
