“There are few hours in life more agreeable than the ceremony known as afternoon tea.”
Henry James from The Portrait of a Lady, 1881
There is no more delightful and quintessentially British institution than afternoon tea and nowhere better to enjoy it than Jesmond Dene House. The ritual of tea served in fine bone china and three tiered stands overflowing with cakes, dainty finger sandwiches and our signature freshly baked, still warm scones. Staff glide through the rooms, music plays quietly in the background, whilst a mix of guests – from ladies in smart dresses, to overseas tourists visiting Hadrian’s Wall and local families celebrating their Grandmother’s birthday – all enjoy a traditional afternoon tea.
This menu is available Wednesday – Sunday, 1pm – 4pm.
Afternoon Tea is served in the Billiard Room or Fern Wednesday - Saturday, and in the Billiard Room every Sunday.
