Afternoon Tea at the Mitre pairs riverside elegance with festive indulgence, served in the light-filled 1665 Brasserie overlooking the Thames. Expect refined service and a seasonal line-up of warm savouries, panettone-spiced scones, and handcrafted winter sweets — all enjoyed in a setting that feels both historic and effortlessly luxurious.

Set on the water’s edge and moments from Hampton Court Palace, the Mitre Hotel offers a characterful blend of heritage and contemporary comfort. The atmosphere is relaxed but polished, creating a setting that feels special without ever slipping into formality. 

Afternoon Tea unfolds in the 1665 Brasserie, a bright riverside dining room with generous natural light and calm, stylish surroundings. The space is designed for unhurried visits, offering an inviting backdrop for conversation, celebration, or simply enjoying a quieter rhythm to the day. 

The menu leans into the season with warming savouries such as chestnut & sage sausage rolls and turkey brioche, followed by panettone-spiced scones with clotted cream. A selection of handcrafted winter desserts, ranging from spiced bakes to refined patisserie, brings a considered festive finish. Guests may enhance the experience with premium English sparkling wines, Champagne or a choice of seasonal signature cocktails.

Those wishing to make a day of it can book our £50 Festive Regency Afternoon Tea, which includes a ticket collected at reception prior to their Afternoon Tea experience for entry to Hampton Court Palace.
