Look forward to a delicious selection including dainty finger sandwiches, chocolate brownies, cream puffs, macarons, madeleines, and more. Of course, there is also the classic teatime treat: scones with jam and freshly whipped cream.

Vegan High Tea
With the growing importance of plant-based cuisine, our talented pastry chefs have created a Vegan High Tea experience.
Guests can enjoy a tea-stand filled with a collection of vegan treats, including dairy-free scones, coconut panna cotta, banana and oat cookies, and avocado and hummus wraps.
Chef Gina’s inventive use of dairy substitutes is a revelation, even for non-vegans.
