About Afternoon Tea…
The origin of this (then) elaborate ceremony was actually boredom among the British upper-class women who had followed their husbands to serve in the British Crown colony of India. There wasn’t much for a woman to do with a house full of servants, and so “afternoon tea” was a way to pass the time together with others in the same situation.
Afternoon tea could last for hours, easily rivaling the front pages of newspapers—and additionally complemented with the intangible.
Today’s afternoon tea, just like back then, is a small meal.
Please note that the selection is not at all as extensive for those with allergies. Vegans, gluten allergies, lactose intolerances, milk protein allergies, egg allergies, and diabetics are served a separate plate with finger sandwiches and allergy-friendly bread, as well as at least three sweets. The contents of the plate vary depending on the type of allergy you have and may still contain traces of the allergenic substances. If you have a nut allergy, you can eat most of the items on the buffet, but don’t forget to ask your server prior.
Please specify all food allergies when making a reservation.
