Afternoon Tea & Savoury Afternoon Tea menu

Typical fillings for their finger sandwiches include Coronation chicken, Cotswold Legbar egg mayonnaise, smoked trout with paprika, and Suffolk cured ham with English mustard.

Their traditional scones are served with Somerset clotted cream and Fortnum's own strawberry preserve and lemon curd. If you choose a savoury tea then you'll get savoury scones instead. These are served with Red Leicester, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato compote with basil cream cheese.

The ornate cake carriage will have a selection of cakes and pastries including rose eclairs, raspberry and vanilla tarts, apricot delices, and a refreshing strawberry mousse with mint jelly.

If you choose a savoury tea then you can choose from trout and dill eclairs, Portland crabs with cucumber, Scotch eggs with piccalilli, and a pea and pepper mousse with caramelised onions. (All food options are subject to change.)

And it wouldn't be an afternoon tea without a teapot full of Fortnum's own blend! Expert 'tearistas' will also be on hand to advise you which of their signature blends, single-estate and infusion teas are right for you.
