Afternoon tea at The Mitre - Book a table

Afternoon tea

They say that the Duchess of Bedford invented afternoon tea during the 1830s. It seems that the gap between lunch and dinner was too long, and her patience too short. The solution – a pot of tea and a selection of delicate snacks – changed the way an entire nation ate. Soon everyone was taking time out for tea and cake.
