Five star hotel, The Fitzwilliam Hotel, brings a traditional afternoon tea to the streets of Belfast - an experience of pure elegance and luxury. This family-friendly hotel combines traditional finery with a more contemporary, boutique style to create a perfectly balanced ambience that is friendly and welcoming but also allows for a touch of decadence.
Afternoon tea at The Fitzwilliam Hotel is a culinary experience rather than just a simple treat. Displayed on sleek, black shelves in a circular, silver, metal frame, the afternoon tea is a dainty, luxurious arrangement. Priding itself on its fresh produce, the afternoon tea menu may change slightly with the seasons however it will follow a similar structure. Kicking off the experience, guests will receive starter-style dishes of soup, halloumi fries, and a spiced pork and herb sausage roll that is sure to get those taste buds tingling. Moving on to another savoury course, there is an arrangement of wraps and classic finger sandwiches. There is nothing more elegant than an egg and cress finger sandwich at afternoon tea after all!
It wouldn't be afternoon tea without scones, clotted cream and preserves and The Fitzwilliam Hotel serves up golden, crumbly homemade scones alongside a sweet selection for the perfect end to the experience. Think - pastries, tarts, shortcake and macaroons; all carefully decorated and well-presented. The experience would not be complete without the selection of teas and coffees on offer; or, if you fancy taking your afternoon tea to the next level, you can add prosecco or Champagne.
Obviously, a traditional afternoon tea isn't for everyone but Fitzwilliam Hotel has got something slighly less dainty that may be your cup of tea - or should we say, beer? Break away from tradition with the crafternoon tea menu, featuring the likes of scotch eggs, pork pies and mini baps alongside scones and brownies. Ditch the tea and try this experience that is accompanied by two local hand-crafted beers from Whitewater Brewing Co.
