If your idea of a heavenly afternoon is to sink into an armchair and have a smartly dressed waiter bring you some very good tea and cake, the St James's Restaurant at Fortnum & Mason is the perfect place for your retreat.
The St. James’s Restaurant is closed for refurbishment and will be reborn in Spring 2012, where tea will be celebrated all year round in surroundings that reflect the elegance of the Georgian era. The emphasis will be on the exciting world of tea, and on the very best of British baking.
In the meantime, tea is being offered in our other restaurants, so there is no need to forego your favourite Fortnum’s afternoon tea. Each restaurant has stamped its personality on the ritual of afternoon tea.
Take Tea in the Parlour from 12noon with an ice cream tea special creation.
The Gallery Tea from 3pm. Go all out with sandwiches, scones, madeleines and cupcakes.
Four O'clock in the Fountain, boasts a bountiful bon bon epergné and high tea is a speciality.
1707 Overture in the 1707 Wine Bar eschews sweet for savoury teatimes. We guarantee you will be delighted with their mouth-watering post-meridien menus.
