Afternoon Tea for Celebrations
Afternoon Tea at The Carlton is great for celebrations. Events like hen parties, baby showers, birthdays or anniversaries, where you can invite family, friends and colleagues to tea in the relaxed atmosphere of our Brasserie. Of course, Afternoon Tea is a quintessential English treat. Introduced to the good folk of England by Anna, the peckish Duchess of Bedford, in the 1840.
Today you can join us at The Carlton for a delicious homemade afternoon tea with the classic Devonshire element, where the cream goes on first, of course. And just like Anna you’ll leave satisfied and full of our complete Afternoon Tea offer.
We are pleased to be able to offer gluten free, vegan and plant free alternatives subject to a minimum numbers.
Extensive Menu
There are five key elements to our Afternoon Tea menu. A choice of freshly prepared, hand cut sandwiches, your choice in savoury treats, like mini apple and pork sausage rolls or two cheese and tomato tartlet, plus a trio of cakes or sweet pastries, with a mini dessert, all served with a selection of teas, or filter coffee.
Our Afternoon Tea menu is £19.50 per person, and for larger tables we will offer a discount per head.
Gluten-Free Dining
We serve gluten free options at all meal times.
Because we cook from scratch it is easy to meet individual dietary requests including gluten free and coeliac needs.

Ladies that get together once a month went for afternoon high tea at the Carlton. Wow what a fantastic selection of sandwiches cakes, scones and deserts. All served in a private cosy room. So much food and such a great selection we had to take the remainder home in doggy bags. Thank you Eliot.
