The Afternoon Tea British tradition goes back to the 19th century when it first became a social event widely enjoyed by the great and good alike. Queen Victoria herself was a huge fan and helped to popularise this mini meal that traditionally includes delicate finger sandwiches, sweet dainties, scones with jam and cream and, of course, a revivifying cup of tea.
“Afternoon tea is an occasion that can be celebrated by people of all ages. We’re offering traditional teas, freshly prepared by us and served in a relaxed setting and we look forward to welcoming guests throughout the week,” said general manager Adam Flint.
Afternoon tea at DoubleTree by Hilton Swindon would make the ideal gift, a surprise treat for someone special, or simply a great opportunity to get together with friends and have a tasty and enjoyable experience.
