Escape the ordinary – a summertime twist on the traditional afternoon tea
As the British summer blooms into full swing, Harbour Hotels elevates the traditional tea ritual with its new Secret Garden Afternoon Tea—a whimsical, floral-inspired experience available at select properties across the collection.
From Richmond Hill to the Cornish coast, this limited-edition tea blends traditional indulgence with a fresh, seasonal twist, capturing the essence of summer through scent, flavour, and design.
Served in elegant lounges, glass-walled terraces, and sun-drenched courtyards across the group’s portfolio, the Secret Garden Afternoon Tea reimagines the traditional format with a menu that nods to the natural world.
Highlights include:
- Edible floral pastries, such as lemon blossom cheesecakes, rose & raspberry macarons, and lemon flower petal Italian meringue
- Garden-fresh savouries like cucumber and mint sandwiches, mini garden pea and mint arancini, and asparagus and lemon crème fraîche vol-au-vent
- Chocolate mousse ‘plant pot’, a whimsical take on a traditional favourite, complete with an edible soil topping
- A finely selected tea menu with herbal and floral blends – plus an option to add fizz, for an extra touch of occasion.
Whether you’re exploring the coast or enjoying a city escape, this is an afternoon tea that brings the outside in—with flavour, flair, and floral fantasy.
