About this deal
Or perhaps, more than all this, it’s the notion that you’ve ducked out of the humdrum for a while; afternoon tea here feels comforting and fun, like you’re joining the others living it up in Soho at 4pm on a Tuesday. The tea has its own dedicated station manned by a sommelier who will weigh and infuse your selected brew to achieve the best possible flavor. Whether they consider themselves a coffee connoisseur or they have been a tea lover for years, we have Ringtons gift sets to suit every taste and preference.
Whether they love exploring the outdoors, discovering historic homes or taking in the views with a slice of cake, a National Trust gift card can be used towards experiences like these. Pre-book your afternoon tea to guarantee seating in the hushed, old-school gilded dining room, decked out with thick gold curtains, whimsical tree-like Swarovski chandeliers and a roaring fire in the winter. Cranberry-stuffed scones are served with clotted cream and bay-leaf-seasoned jam, as well as a sticky cube of fresh honeycomb from Harrow bees.
Strawberries will never not make an adorable birthday theme, and for your little one’s absolute first, they’re “berry” sweet. King Charles' favorite treats feature on the limited-edition menu including sandwiches filled with ingredients from Royal Warrant suppliers like Dukeshill Ham.
The Apple Blossom is a caramel apple compote coated with a tart apple mousse, while a yogurt cake with honey ganache is hand-crafted to resemble a bee. Butter – For the sponge you can use either a baking spread, or a block unsalted butter at room temp. I then used blueberries to fill in the rest of the flag on top of the cream – and look at how pretty it its!
This traybake is a people-pleaser, can feed a lot of friends and is topped with the best fresh berries. The stand’s top tier holds the coveted sweet treats: lemon polenta cake, meringue, raspberry and pistachio baci di dama and the standout cherry and almond tart. Tea is taken by the bar, an intimate, Deco-inspired space of gold and polished black lacquer, with large yellow vases, a wall of 20th-century oil paintings and an eyeful of mild Hungarian erotica from the 1940s. From personalised presents to delicious foodie hampers, discover something perfect for every occasion in our collection.
