FREE FLOWING PROSECCO AFTERNOON TEA

There can be few times when the addition of perfectly chilled Prosecco cannot add to the good times.

CREAM TEA

SCONES

Served freshly baked and warm, we offer a plain and raisin scone with a soft, yielding texture and a colour of warm white gold. The scones are accompanied by Rodda’s Cornish clotted cream, which we consider to be the finest in Britain, and Stokes British extra strawberry jam.

JAM FIRST, OR CREAM

It’s been a topic of much debate over the generations. In our view, it is the cream that comes first, followed by a teaspoon of Stokes British extra strawberry jam. Of course, this is just our own opinion, and the order of ceremony will always remain entirely a matter of the guest’s own taste and preference.

SAVOURY AFTERNOON TEA

A brand-new interpretation of our Classic Afternoon Tea, created by Head Chef David and his team to tempt that palate of those that prefer a savoury twist.

Light as a cloud scones and savoury pastries compliment the robust flavours of this seasonal addition to our menu. Smoked salmon, roast beef and freshly baked, and herb filled sausage rolls presented alongside Arancini, and lamb bon bons, characterise the flavour-packed sensations of our Savoury Afternoon Tea.

Combining traditionally delicate appearance with strong flavours and textures, this is an absolute must for lovers of a full-bodied afternoon tea experience.

“A delightful take on the traditional afternoon tea, The Mandolay in Guildford has spiced things up with their brand new savoury afternoon tea. Muddy was the first to sample the goodies.” – Muddy Stilettos
