Best for a girly celebration

Dalloway Terrace

Inspired by the wild meadow flowers that make up England’s enchanting countryside, Dalloway Terrace has unveiled its new look for the summer season. Courtesy of master florist Nikki Tibbles Wild at Heart, the terrace walls have been adorned with silk daisies, cosmos, larkspur, delphiniums and foliage, providing the perfect backdrop for a summery afternoon tea with your closest friends. Head Pastry Chef and Afternoon Tea of the Year finalist Chris Dodd has created the fruity summer menu, with flavouring originating from seasonal fruits such as oranges and berries, with the added taste of lemon, pineapple and lavender. Gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options are available (ideal for making sure all members of your group are catered to), and a refreshing glass of champagne can be ordered as an extra treat.
