Enjoy afternoon tea at The Whitby Hotel

For a slice of high-class glamour fantastic for a social occasion, afternoon tea at The Whitby is a must. Essential after wandering through Central Park or before seeing a show on Broadway, check it out for yourself and see if the Americans can do it just as good as us Brits.

Start your indulgent experience with an American twist with delights such as roasted beet and watermelon tacos, mini beef sliders and sweetcorn empanadas replacing the typical cheese and cucumber bites. Next, enjoy scones with cream and preserves before tucking into a sweet selection of carrot cake sticky buns, warm banana cakes and lychee cheesecake.

Wash it all down with speciality teas including English peppermint and whole leaf green tea or more exotic flavours such as jasmine silver tip and lapsang souchong. A choice of champagne is also added to the mix for a fabulous splash of the fizzy stuff.

With new menus to choose from, The Whitby Afternoon Tea and Healthy Afternoon Tea, even if you’re watching your figure you’re well catered for here. Located in The Whitby Bar or in the Orangery, expect the décor to be almost as breathtaking as the food. Think pretty china, mismatched chairs complete with botanical upholstery and quirky finishing touches including mini tree centrepieces and vintage vessels filled with fresh flowers. It’s an Instagram snap just waiting to happen… all that’s missing is you.
