The Dorchester - Afternoon Tea

Afternoon Tea at The Dorchester is very popular so it took us a while to book a table for Afternoon Tea. In November 2011, we finally went to The Dorchester on The Promenade for our Champagne Afternoon Tea, which was a wedding present from friends of ours.
First, they served us a glass of Champagne and then brought us a selection of sandwiches (smoked salmon, egg mayonnaise, roast beef, chicken, cucumber...). The sandwiches were delicious, freshly made with various types of bread.  We could have as many sandwiches as we liked, they would continue to serve us until we said stop!



After the sandwiches, they brought a pre-dessert: a clementine jelly with some cream.



Then they brought us tea, scones and cakes. They have a long list of tea to choose from. The scones were served with rasberry or strawberry jam and clotted cream. The scones were very yummy. They also gave us a selection of French patisserie. Again, we could have as many scones or as much patisserie as we liked.



The service was very nice, efficient and friendly. We had a very pleasant afternoon at the Dorchester doing something different, something we wouldn't normally do so it was a wonderful and memorable wedding present. Thank you Mel and Shauny!
