Treat your loved ones to a Chelsea Flower Show  Afternoon Tea at The Promenade at The Dorchester. Enjoy a delicious assortment of sweet and savoury treats. Available 19th - 26th May 2025.

Our afternoon tea is a much-loved mainstay of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show – and you can enjoy the same floral-inspired menu in The Promenade. Expect our finest selection of teas, seasonal sandwiches, and sweet delicacies that bloom with flavour.

Of the 3,000 meals served at The Dorchester each day, none receives more attention than the gracious service known as Afternoon Tea. In fact, The Dorchester has been awarded a Highly Commended certificate at the Afternoon Tea Awards 2018 in recognition of its outstanding quality and high standards in Afternoon Tea service.

Afternoon Tea is served in The Promenade, a lobby on the ground floor, where potted palms and towering fountains of flowering plants surround plush couches with pillows as soft as marshmallows.

Afternoon Tea begins with savoury finger sandwiches. Crusts are removed from fresh baked artisan breads, and the delicate slices are filled a range of sumptuous items. Warm scones arrive next, made from a recipe unchanged at The Dorchester for over half a century. They are served with a selection of seasonal preserves and clotted cream.

The final course is the piece de resistance, the platter of award-winning cakes and tartlets. The pastries include wonderful treats such as a cherry blossom roulade. Valentine's Afternoon Tea is served with an exceptional range of teas and a glass of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label.
