Afternoon Tea at The Chester Grosvenor

About

Afternoon Tea at The Chester Grosvenor is steeped in Victorian tradition and served in the elegant Arkle Bar and Lounge (and the exclusive Drawing Room for private groups). Guests can choose from three richly‑crafted menus: the classic Traditional Afternoon Tea, the indulgent version that adds a glass of Champagne or gin‑and‑tonic, and the hearty Gentleman’s Afternoon Tea featuring savory fish and roll delights. Each experience showcases freshly baked scones with clotted cream and strawberry preserve, a selection of delicate finger sandwiches, and an array of award‑winning pastries cooked on the spot by the hotel’s pastry chefs. The Chester Grosvenor’s award‑winning dining atmosphere, smart‑casual dress code, and dedicated seating for those aged 12 and over make it a must‑visit for food lovers and culture‑seeking travelers alike. Prices start at £39.50 for the Traditional menu, £59.50 for the Indulgent option, and the same for the Gentleman’s menu. Located at 1 Eastgate, Chester, Cheshire (CH1 1LT), the hotel offers convenient parking at the rear and smooth access for wheelchair users. The afternoon tea runs from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm, Wednesday through Sunday, and reservations are highly recommended – especially for groups of five or more where customers are advised to call 01244 324024 directly. For those planning a truly luxurious experience, the Drawing Room provides an intimate, private setting for up to 14 guests, perfect for family gatherings or special occasions.
