Afternoon Tea

Nothing satisfies the soul like afternoon tea at Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa. Legend has it that this national icon was popularised by our very own resident, the 7th Duchess of Bedford, in the 1840s. We honour that legacy with the sense of occasion we bring to every booking.  

Here the tea is precisely brewed and the champagne perfectly chilled. Expect delicate finger sandwiches, warm-from-the-oven scones and a trove of artisanal sweet treats spread across three magnificent tiers — all served in our fine dining restaurant, sociable bar or sunny terrace. 

Perfect for a family celebration or end-of-week treat, we guarantee you’ve never had an afternoon tea quite like this. Make sure to book in advance: this isn’t one you want to miss.
