Afternoon Tea at The Petersham
Indulge in this quintessentially British tradition overlooking the River Thames. Savour freshly prepared cakes, pastries and sandwiches alongside a glass of our very own Petersham Champagne.
A British Tradition
Please make us aware of any requests, food allergies or intolerances that you may have; we will be more than happy to offer suitable alternatives.
This delightful tradition has become somewhat of an institution at The Petersham over the years, but we have always remained true to the classic combination of sandwiches, scones, cakes and pastries. Baked fresh each and every day, our pastry chef has perfected the art of the perfect sweet teatime treat.
All our afternoon teas are served with fresh clotted cream, jam and of course, your choice of fine tea. And, with panoramic views of the River Thames from every table, there is no better place to enjoy a traditional afternoon tea in Richmond.
The History of Afternoon Tea
Now a Great British tradition, the practice of afternoon tea has a very interesting history dating back to the 1800s.

'The memory of the view, and of the tasty, generous afternoon tea, will linger long after you have left.'
