Afternoon Tea is a much-loved British tradition, but at The Orangery it takes on a fresh perspective. From March 14 (Saturday), guests will be able to enjoy a thoughtfully crafted Farm Afternoon Tea, served in surroundings that bring you closer to the ingredients themselves. With produce growing just steps away, this experience blends seasonal flavours, careful preparation and a setting unlike any other in central London.
Just in time for Mother’s Day, it offers a wonderful way to spend quality time together, whether you are planning a relaxed afternoon with family or gathering friends for something a little different.
Afternoon Tea Inspired by the Farm
Guests can enjoy a seasonal selection of farm-infused savoury bites and delicate sweet treats, each prepared with care and inspired by ingredients grown nearby. Served for £50 per person, the menu balances comforting classics with lighter, seasonal flavours that reflect what is growing in the farm.
The experience focuses on freshness and thoughtful preparation. Expect carefully layered sandwiches, elegant sweet treats and beautifully presented plates that showcase ingredients at their best.
It’s an Afternoon Tea designed to feel relaxed, welcoming and special.
Two distinctive settings to enjoy
One of the most distinctive features of Farm Afternoon Tea is the setting. Guests can enjoy the experience in two very different environments, each offering its own atmosphere.
In The Orangery Restaurant
For those who enjoy a classic afternoon setting, Afternoon Tea can be served in the The Orangery restaurant. Natural light, relaxed seating and a calm atmosphere create the perfect backdrop for a leisurely afternoon.
Here, guests can settle in, enjoy the seasonal menu and spend time catching up with friends or celebrating a special occasion.
Bookings for this experience can be made through the standard restaurant reservation system.
Downstairs in The Farm
For something truly memorable, guests can book Farm Afternoon Tea within the underground farm itself.
Nestled beside the living farm walls, this setting places diners right alongside the produce that inspires the menu. Herbs, greens and other fresh ingredients grow around the space, creating a quietly immersive environment that feels both modern and natural.
This private dining experience is particularly suited to larger groups and special gatherings. A minimum spend applies, and bookings must be made via the enquiry form to reserve the space.
It’s a unique way to enjoy Afternoon Tea surrounded by the very ingredients that help bring the menu to life.
A thoughtful way to celebrate Mother’s Day
With its calm setting, seasonal menu and relaxed atmosphere, Farm Afternoon Tea makes an ideal way to celebrate Mother’s Day.
Instead of rushing through a meal, guests can slow down and enjoy an afternoon together. The combination of carefully prepared dishes, fresh ingredients and beautiful surroundings creates a setting that feels both considered and welcoming.
Whether you choose the bright restaurant upstairs or the distinctive farm setting below, it’s an experience designed to feel special without being overly formal.
