Generations have fallen in love with our afternoon tea. One guest describes her favourite treats in life, as handed down from her mother, as “marmalade spread on bread and butter pudding, sneaking off to the movies on rainy days… and Afternoon Tea at The Dorchester.”

Children's afternoon tea
When creating a new children’s afternoon tea menu, we thought who better to design it than children themselves? Together with the budding chefs from our partner school, Manorfield Primary, our chef has created a fanciful feast of scrumptious treats, bite-size sandwiches, cupcakes and more.
