Our Sparkling Winter Afternoon Tea has arrived.✨It is everything we love about this time of year and we are excited to share it with you.
Prepared fresh each morning by our in-house bakers, the three-tier stand brings together the flavours of the season. Smoked salmon tartar with citrus dill cream cheese. Roast chicken with cranberry and rocket on soft brioche. And a whole line up of indulgent winter bakes. Gold star chocolate cake with orange ganache. A pumpkin financier with maple glaze. And our own little “Strawberry Jammy Dodger”.
Every tea is served with a warm scone, Cornish clotted cream, strawberry jam and loose leaf Bellevue Tea. You can also add a glass of fizz or a festive cocktail for an extra touch of seasonal celebration.🥂
What’s more, £2 from every tea is donated to the who look after this beautiful green space through every season. A festive treat that tastes very good and does a little good too. Book your cosy winter moment now through the link in our bio.

Happy Halloween, everyone! How brilliant is Bushra’s spooky latte?! 🎃
We’ve absolutely loved our autumn windows this year—probably our favourite ones yet—so it’ll be a little sad to see them go this weekend.
But the good news? returns on Monday to work her magic and turn them into a winter wonderland.
