READER COMPETITION
IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE CHESTER GROSVENOR
THE CHESTER GROSVENOR
Served daily at The Chester Grosvenor since 1882, the tradition of 'taking tea'
has been enjoyed by many since its launch and is renowned for being the finest
afternoon tea in Chester.
First created by the Duchess of Bedford in 1830 to stave off her mid-afternoon
hunger pangs, afternoon tea was firmly established as a British staple in Victorian
England, a light meal of tea (usually Darjeeling) and cakes or sandwiches was the
perfect balance. The Duchess found taking an afternoon snack to be such a perfect
refreshment that she soon began inviting her friends to join her. Afternoon tea
quickly became an established and convivial repast in many households.
Afternoon Tea is served in the decadent surroundings of The Arkle Bar and Lounge
at The Chester Grosvenor. It offers a wonderfully memorable experience for all
occasions, whether it be a special celebration or a get together with friends.
Guests may indulge in sweet creations made by the hotel’s award-winning chefs,
served alongside a selection of finger sandwiches, fruit and plain scones with
clotted cream and strawberry preserve and freshly brewed tea or coffee. Perhaps try
the hotel’s very own blend of tea, Grosvenor Grey.
For those who prefer a heartier afternoon tea The Chester Grosvenor also
serve Gentleman's Afternoon Tea, although this is available for both ladies and
gentlemen! Guests can enjoy handmade floured bloomers with crispy haddock and
tartare sauce, open rye with roast beef, pastrami, mustard and pickles along with a
baked pork and apple savoury, served alongside Appleby’s Cheshire cheese.
For a truly indulgent affair choose the Indulgent Champagne Afternoon Tea with
the addition of a chilled glass of Champagne and strawberries with clotted cream.
Afternoon Tea and Gentleman’s Afternoon Tea are priced at £33.50 per person,
Indulgent Afternoon Tea is priced at £47.50. To book call 01244 324024.
