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. 

So treat someone special

Afternoon tea is the most civilised time of day and what would make a better gift than a voucher for freshly made scones, dainty sandwiches and homemade cakes, served with a pot of your favourite tea or infusion?

Give the gift of an unforgettable treat to someone who deserves it with a Classic Lodges Gift Voucher. Choose from a Cream Tea, Traditional Afternoon Tea or Champagne Afternoon Tea.
