Kick starting our New Year celebrations this year in a very civilised manner and in style. Afternoon tea at the Goring Hotel in London. The most amazing family owned hotel and most phenomenal afternoon tea in London. Enjoying pastries, scones and sandwiches served with the finest blended and first-flush teas from around the world – topped off with a glass of Bollinger Roase Champagne. The Goring has been perfecting the art of Afternoon Tea since it opened its doors over a century ago. As the holder of The British Tea Guild Council’s Top London Afternoon Tea Award and The Award of Excellence, the Goring to delight guests with delicious pastries, fruity homemade jams and high quality tea blends. The menu changes to offer the freshest, locally-sourced fruits in line with the season. So we had a festive afternoon tea. Afternoon Tea is served in the luxurious, five-star surroundings of the Bar & Lounge every day between 3.00pm - 4.00pm and also in The Dining Room on Saturdays between 1.00pm - 4.00pm.
