Celebrate a quintessentially British past-time with a modern twist and indulge in a spot of Afternoon Tea with Bubbly for Two.
Afternoon tea has been a British institution since Anna Maria Russell - the seventh Duchess of Bedford - asked her footman to bring her a pot of tea with light refreshment one afternoon in 1840. The ritual caught on and afternoon tea became the corner stone of high society dining. These days taking tea as a light afternoon meal has become much more accessible, without losing a crumb of its wonderful charm.
This experience offers you and a guest the opportunity to indulge in a sumptuous selection of sweet and savoury treats with tea and bubbly in some of the most lavish hotels and tea rooms in the country. With a wide selection of carefully hand-picked afternoon tea locations to choose from, there’s a venue to please all for any occasion. Whether you’re looking for an elegant country manor house or a trendy boutique city hotel to enjoy a stylish and sophisticated dining experience, or for a more relaxed and contemporary affair, maybe a homely independent tearoom is more your thing. Wherever you choose, you are spoilt for afternoon tea locations to pick from.
Your afternoon tea may vary slightly depending on which location you have chosen. You could be treated to a pleasing array of freshly made finger sandwiches, yummy scones served with cream and jam, or even something quite unique like a trio of burgers. At most locations, you will also enjoy a choice of mouth-watering cakes or pastries and most importantly, accompanied with an elegant glass of either fizz or sparkling wine.
Whether you are celebrating or simply relaxing, this is the perfect way to spend an afternoon.
This experience is available Monday to Sunday, throughout the year, depending on location.
Your experience will generally last for 2 hours.
This experience is for two people, there may be other people there on the day.
The minimum age for this experience is 18 years old.

What did you get up to?
Upon arrival at the DoubleTree by Hilton in London West End my friend and I were immediately in awe of the venue and décor. The hotel is absolutely beautiful and very welcoming. We were seated by staff straight away and asked what type of tea we would like. We were asked whether we would like our champagne served before or after we had eaten – I think it was great that you’re given a choice so your champagne remains chilled for when you're ready to enjoy it. After a short wait our afternoon tea was served! We enjoyed a large plate of sandwiches with different fillings such as cucumber & soft cheese or honey glazed gammon & grain mustard, they were all delicious! The homemade sultana scones were served slightly warm with clotted cream and strawberry jam. We then enjoyed various delicious cakes such as mini Victoria sponges, raspberry mousse, chocolate mousse and pecan sponge cake. We had the most amazing day in a lovely venue and I would certainly recommend the afternoon tea to anyone!
What did you enjoy the most?
The venue and décor was stunning and we loved relaxing in this type of atmosphere.
1. Don’t eat before you go.
2. I recommend upgrading to champagne, it’s delicious and so refreshing!

Good venue. Service a bit slow due to a wedding reception taking place on the premises. The food was well presented, varied and tasty and represented good value.

The staff didn’t seem to have any idea of the ‘experience’ & were not attentive. The selection on offer was not the usual variety one expects for an ‘afternoon tea’ - it was rather dull in fact. I was very disappointed, particularly as it was an expensive birthday gift from my darling friend, whose company was the only saving grace for the afternoon. Wish I’d chosen another venue … I thought the Hilton would deliver, but it was not so, unfortunately.

Hi, Thank you for your feedback. I can only apologise you did not enjoy your Afternoon Tea at DoubleTree by Hilton, I can see the information for this experience does state you will receive the following: ' arrive you will be welcomed by the staff which will show you to your seats. You will be presented with a choice of teas, carefully cut finger sandwiches such as pickled cucumber sherry, vinegar and black pepper, salt beef, English mustard and watercress, egg chive and mayonnaise and Scottish salmon cream cheese. These will be followed by freshly baked scones served warm with Devonshire clotted cream, strawberry and raspberry preserve, fresh fruit tartlets, afternoon tea cakes and pastries. All to be washed down with your choice of a selection of fine teas or freshly ground coffee and a glass of bubbly.' If this was not included then please email me at reviews@activitysuperstore.com, and I will gladly look into this further for you. Kind regards, Abbie

Staff team polite but could have been more welcoming. Had to ask for the bubbly as they never served it. Seemed like the cakes were all shop bought.

My wife and I throughly enjoyed our afternoon tea with bubbly at the ARTea Room, dropping in at the venue to break up a long journey. The variety of tea on offer was excellent - I opted for Chinese Gunpowder whilst my wife choose the traditional English Breakfast, Tea and cream refills were no problem at all and there was more than enough sandwiches and cakes for us both. The service was friendly and efficient amongst an unusual room setting filled with pictures and various knick knacks that can be bought. A really relaxing break to our journey. Would recommend.
