Afternoon Tea in Yorkshire
A tradition is born
The tradition of taking in the afternoon tea dates back to the 18th Century when one of Queen Victoria’s ladies-in-waiting, Anna Stanhope (the Duchess of Bedford) complained of a sinking feeling about 4 ‘o’clock. To revive herself, the Duchess had her servants bring her a pot of tea and a few breadstuffs. She soon began inviting her friends to join her for her additional meal in her room at Belvior Castle and this has become a British institution.
We firmly believe that afternoon tea is one of the joys of life, and one that is made to be shared. We are delighted to bring you a choice of Yorkshire Afternoon Teas with the freshest, homemade scones, sandwiches and cakes – all served, of course, with a piping hot pot of your favourite blend. Make it a celebration and add a glass of fizz!
Served on selected days from 2pm – 5pm, the hotel’s Camelia lounge and restaurant serves a delicious range of classic tea-time treats, including sandwiches and a selection of our team’s favourite home-made sweet treats to both visitors and residents alike. Alternatively enjoy our tranquil terrace with delightful views of rear lawn and grounds.
