We love an afternoon tea any time of the year but there is something particularly special about huddling round piping hot tea and cakes surrounded by twinkling decorations while it’s cold and windy outside. Christmas is the time to catch up with those you love and what better way to do it with that cosiest of Christmas traditions? Here’s a some of our afternoon tea offers available over Christmas time.
Hotel du Vin Edinburgh
Tucked away off a courtyard in Edinburgh’s atmospheric Old Town, the four star Hotel du Vin is a cosy, welcoming space. Afternoon tea is served in the hotel’s whisky snug, which is furnished with leather armchairs, plump cushions and bookshelves lined with whisky. We also have an afternoon tea for two with a Champagne cocktail each on our Christmas gifts page which makes a luxurious present for someone you love.
£14.50 afternoon tea offer + glass of fizz at Hotel du Vin Edinburgh on 5pm Dining or £24.50 for a Champagne cocktail afternoon tea for two people as a Christmas gift****.
Ti Tea Lounge
Renowned for its unusual twists on traditional afternoon tea, Ti Tea Lounge is within Glasgow’s five star Hilton Hotel. Signature afternoon teas with a twist include confessions of a chocoholic, for those serious chocolate lovers, and the Mad Hatters tea party which includes an assortment of freshly cut finger sandwiches, Queen of Hearts strawberries dipped in chocolate and a selection of cupcakes and themed cakes.
19.50 for afternoon tea at Ti Tea Lounge on 5pm Dining.
Brasserie at the Pond
Brasserie at the Pond on Glasgow’s Great Western Road within the Pond Hotel claims to offer afternoon tea in the “modern way.” Our 5pm customers are certainly satisfied, with reviews such as “I have gone to lots of restaurant/hotels for their afternoon tea but have been disappointed in the past. You will not be disappointed at the Pond Hotel as their afternoon tea is fantastic. Sandwiches fresh and tasty (and the cakes / scones are amazing). Plus you get a sparkly prosecco and strawberries decorating the plate. I would highly recommend this place..”
£7.95 afternoon tea offer + Prosecco at Brasserie at the Pond on 5pm Dining.
Westview Restaurant – Capital Hotel
Benefiting from its elevated position on top of Edinburgh’s Corstorphine Hill, the Westview Restaurant looks out on to both the Pentland Hills and the Firth of Forth. A lovely view in which to enjoy afternoon tea.
