Tea at The Park

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to Afternoon Tea at The Park Regis Hotel.

The creation of this thoroughly English institution is credited to a lifelong friend of Queen Victoria, Anna Maria Russell, who was looking for a means of avoiding hunger pangs in the long gap between an early lunch and a late supper.

At The Park Regis we have created an experience observing this delightful aspect of our nation’s culinary heritage for the best part of 150 years.

Our Executive Chef has remained faithful to the classic combination of finger sandwiches, scones served warm, and sweet pastries accompanied by a remarkable selection of wonderful loose leaf tea. Our ingredients are painstakingly sourced, skilfully prepared and served fresh each day.

The centrepiece of afternoon tea is, of course, the drink itself. We have scoured the world to bring you delicious tea from a small bespoke tea producer. We have carefully selected teas that will complement your food perfectly and all our tea is prepared and poured at your table to your preferred strength. Your afternoon tea is served from a specially designed stand.

Over the next few pages you’ll discover the degree of care that goes intoeach cup of tea and morsel of food, as well as some surprises that makeTea at the Park such a magical experience. If there’s anything more you’dlike to know, don’t hesitate to ask.

All that remains is for us to wish you a wonderful afternoon.
