Their regally named Duke of York selection is savoury, while the Elizabeth Montagu is sweet. Expect British classics like roast beef and English mustard sandwiches alongside Eastern-inspired treats such as spiced lamb kofta with Asian glaze and kaffir lime leaf panna cotta at this distinguished Georgian hotel. And the tea? Theirs is from prestige brand, Ronnefeldt.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>YORK: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bettys.co.uk\/cafe-tea-rooms\/afternoon-tea-at-bettys\"><strong>Betty&#8217;s<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/09\/Bettys-Location1825172-CREDIT-Bettys.jpg\" alt=\"afternoon tea UK Bettys-Location1825172-CREDIT-Bettys\" width=\"1698\" height=\"1131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Bettys-Location1825172-CREDIT-Bettys.jpg 1698w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Bettys-Location1825172-CREDIT-Bettys-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Bettys-Location1825172-CREDIT-Bettys-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Bettys-Location1825172-CREDIT-Bettys-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Bettys-Location1825172-CREDIT-Bettys-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Bettys-Location1825172-CREDIT-Bettys-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1698px) 100vw, 1698px\" \/>It doesn&#8217;t have to even be afternoon to sample afternoon tea at Betty&#8217;s in York. Serving its afternoon tea all day, every day, Betty&#8217;s is a Yorkshire institution that opened back in 1919. Today, it retains its vintage charm and their afternoon tea is widely considered the benchmark in this part of the UK. Old school all the way, you&#8217;ll find egg mayonnaise &amp; cress and Scottish smoked salmon sarnies sitting pretty next to Battenberg and fresh fruit tarts in their Lady Betty Afternoon Tea. Enjoy it with their own tearoom blends \u2013 and a glass of pink Champagne.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>NEWCASTLE: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bonbar.co.uk\/restaurant\/\"><strong>Bonbar<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9406\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/09\/bonbar-newcastle-afternoon-tea.jpg\" alt=\"afternoon tea UK bonbar-newcastle-afternoon-tea\" width=\"1698\" height=\"1131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/bonbar-newcastle-afternoon-tea.jpg 1698w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/bonbar-newcastle-afternoon-tea-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/bonbar-newcastle-afternoon-tea-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/bonbar-newcastle-afternoon-tea-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/bonbar-newcastle-afternoon-tea-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/bonbar-newcastle-afternoon-tea-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1698px) 100vw, 1698px\" \/>After dark, it&#8217;s a swish restaurant and cocktail lounge, but during the day, Bonbar in Newcastle is a delightful parlour serving irresistible ladies and gents afternoon teas. Sandwiches have a Mediterranean bent (think; pesto chicken and cheese &amp; red onion focaccia) while pastries are a decadent blend of macaroons, brownies and tarts. For the gentleman, their masculine AT offers sausage rolls, fish fingers and Scotch eggs, washed down with a pint of local ale.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>EDINBURGH: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesignetlibrary.co.uk\/colonnades\/afternoon-tea\/\"><strong>Collonades at the Signet Library<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/09\/Colonnades-Spring-Afternoon-Tea-11-ed-sml-CREDIT-Colonnades-.jpg\" alt=\"afternoon tea UK Colonnades-Spring-Afternoon-Tea-11-ed-sml-CREDIT-Colonnades-\" width=\"1698\" height=\"1129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Colonnades-Spring-Afternoon-Tea-11-ed-sml-CREDIT-Colonnades-.jpg 1698w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Colonnades-Spring-Afternoon-Tea-11-ed-sml-CREDIT-Colonnades--1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Colonnades-Spring-Afternoon-Tea-11-ed-sml-CREDIT-Colonnades--330x219.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Colonnades-Spring-Afternoon-Tea-11-ed-sml-CREDIT-Colonnades--1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Colonnades-Spring-Afternoon-Tea-11-ed-sml-CREDIT-Colonnades--360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Colonnades-Spring-Afternoon-Tea-11-ed-sml-CREDIT-Colonnades--600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1698px) 100vw, 1698px\" \/>What location could be more atmospheric than a grand, Georgian library? Tuck into seasonal sandwiches and internationally inspired bakes alongside Signet Library&#8217;s neo-classical grandeur and row-upon-row of historical tomes. So beautifully executed are the pastries, that each dainty item is its own work of art. Complement your afternoon tea with a Signet Gin &amp; tonic, crafted on site in their own distillery.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>LONDON \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubenshotel.com\/food-and-drink\/afternoon-tea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rubens at the Palace <\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9403\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/09\/RB_PalaceLounge_002.jpg\" alt=\"afternoon tea UK RB_PalaceLounge_002\" width=\"1698\" height=\"1131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/RB_PalaceLounge_002.jpg 1698w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/RB_PalaceLounge_002-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/RB_PalaceLounge_002-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/RB_PalaceLounge_002-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/RB_PalaceLounge_002-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/RB_PalaceLounge_002-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1698px) 100vw, 1698px\" \/>Few hotels boast a view as noble as Buckingham Palace. At Rubens at the Palace you can take a regal-inspired afternoon tea overlooking the Royal Mews gates \u2013 and even catch a glimpse of The Queen if you&#8217;re lucky! Their Royal Afternoon Tea comes complete with Coronation chicken and cucumber &amp; cream cheese sandwiches, freshly baked scones, fruity pastries and divine red velvet cupcakes.
