Available between a small window of 3.30pm and 5pm at the Priory Hotel, afternoon tea is served in the most beautiful setting of a small boutique hotel off the River Frome in Dorset. Indulge in the timeless ritual of Afternoon Tea at The Priory, where tradition meets comfort. Delight in a cherished experience that us Brits do so love within the inviting embrace of The John Turner Restaurant or, during the sun-kissed balmy months, on The River Terrace. The yummy afternoon tea menu offers an irresistible selection of dishes, ranging from a must-have pot of tea for two paired with homemade shortbread biscuits to the exquisite 'Priory Ritzy Tea,' which can be enjoyed with a glass of English Sparkling Wine, should you desire. Families with children aged 8 years and over are welcomed, so you can enjoy an afternoon tea with your little ones, if they’re feeling fancy.
A simple afternoon tea is served with three biscuits, a pot of tea and a slice of the cake of the day. For a few pounds extra, diners can enjoy the Priory cream tea, which comes complete with freshly prepared scones, jam and clotted cream. The Priory Ritzy Tea includes finger sandwiches, homemade cakes and scones, and all the trimmings — more of what we'd think of as a traditional afternoon tea.
For something a little different, the savoury tea stands out as a great option. For a minimum of two people, customers can enjoy finger sandwiches, homemade savoury bites include mini lobster brioche rolls, zingy crab wraps, chicken liver parfait macaroons and more. All of these nibbles are served alongside homemade cheese scones, chilli chutney and herby cream cheese with a Bloody Mary shot and selection of pot of tea. There’s also the choice to upgrade it to include a glass of prosecco.
