Afternoon Tea
Time shared, slowly.
Afternoon Tea at The Chesterton is an invitation — to sit, to speak, to savour. A table set not for ceremony, but for comfort. A rhythm that encourages conversation, quiet laughter, and that second cup you didn’t plan on pouring.
Served from midday into the softer hours of afternoon, it’s a shared ritual — a pause between friends, between plans, between one part of the day and the next. Plates are layered, teas are chosen, stories unfold in their own time. The room is warm, the pace unhurried, the presence of others quietly grounding.
Whether it’s a long-awaited catch-up, a family tradition, or simply the pleasure of good company and something sweet — Afternoon Tea at The Chesterton is designed to be held together.
Not rushed. Not showy. Just shared.

Sweets
The sweet tier is a shift in tone — softer, slower, more indulgent. Each piece is small, precise, and layered with care. Crisp gives way to smooth, sharp to sweet. Pastry, cream, fruit, chocolate — not all at once, but thoughtfully paced. These aren’t desserts for spectacle. They’re gestures. Meant to be picked up slowly, shared wordlessly, and remembered long after the plate is cleared.
Scones
The scones are served warm — freshly made in-house, plain and sultana. Devonshire clotted cream sits thick and cool beside strawberry jam, sweet and softly set. It’s a simple pleasure, done well. Balanced, familiar, and quietly indulgent — the kind of moment that doesn’t need to be explained.
Stay As Long As You Like
Afternoon Tea at The Chesterton isn’t timed, and it’s never rushed. The table is yours for as long as you need — and often, a little longer. We believe conversation should unfold naturally, without clocks or cut-offs. Whether you’re catching up after too long, marking something quietly special, or simply taking a moment to pause together, there’s no pressure to finish — and no polite reminders to leave.
We’ll keep the teapot warm. We’ll clear plates only when you’re ready. And you? You can stay exactly where you are.
This isn’t about ceremony — it’s about space. Time made, and time kept.
A little something extra, if the moment calls for it.
