Blackfriars Restaurant

Blackfriars afternoon tea includes homemade sandwiches and pastries, freshly made scones and cakes along with a cup of tea/coffee. Afternoon Tea is served Friday and Saturday between 2.45-4.30pm and must be reserved and pre-paid at least 24 hours in advance. Please contact us directly if you have a voucher to use. We’re happy to offer gluten-free and vegetarian options with 48 hours’ notice. However, due to the nature of our menu, we’re unable to accommodate other dietaries, dietary requirements or substitutions. Afternoon Tea may be served in our King's Suite, which is located on the first floor. If you require a more accessible table, please get in touch to let us know.
