Afternoon Tea Awards 2025 - 'Award of Excellence'

At Fairmont Windsor Park, a five-star parkland retreat on the edge of Windsor Great Park, afternoon tea has a rather special setting. The Orchid Tea Room was once an orchid garden, the inspiration for its name, for the blooms across our walls and for the china made for this room.

The room is serene and full of light, an elegant place where the day softens and conversation comes easily. Scones arrive warm with clotted cream and jam, beside delicate finger sandwiches, all set out on that orchid china. Then come the pastries, created anew each season by our expert pâtissier, so that every visit brings you the finest tastes of the moment. 

And when the last cup is poured, the afternoon is still yours, with forty acres of lush parkland just beyond the door, ready to wander. All just a short drive from Windsor and an hour from London.
