AFTERNOONTEA

Afternoon tea is a quintessentially British activity which is synonymous with the culture and tradition of the British people. Here at Lion Quays our afternoon

tea is inspired by the roots of this great pastime and we relish in the opportunity to continue this wonderful tradition with our afternoon tea menu.

Lady Bedford began taking afternoon tea in 1840 as a way to stay her hunger between

breakfast and dinner. This became a habit for her and she invited her friends to join.

Afternoon tea became a particularly fashionable event with the upper class social hostesses of society and

before long all of society were indulging in afternoon tea.
