Afternoon Tea at the Royal Botanical Gardens

Last weekend, I had afternoon tea at the Turner Pavilion Tea House in the Royal Botanical Gardens. It was a co-birthday celebration with a friend who was also born in January.

 

I love the shabby chic decor!

Since the Tea House was busy, I couldn't take photos of the other decor.


 
This was my first time having afternoon tea at the quaint Tea House.
 
 
Top Tier - Sweets: Seasonal Tart, Madeleine, French Macaron
 
 
Middle Tier: Scones served with whipped honey butter, strawberry jam, and lemon cream (not pictured)


Bottom Tier - Sandwiches: Smoked Salmon, Ham & Brie, Coronation Chicken, Cucumber 


I enjoyed the scrumptious food with Sloane Tea's Celebration Medley, an apple-orange spiced rooibos blend.

I had a wonderful time and would love to return in the summer when the rose garden surrounding the Turner Pavilion Tea House is in bloom!

  4. Oh Margie, what a perfect tea spot to celebrate yours and your friend’s birthdays. You have something to look forward to when you return in the summer. All the food on the tiered stand looked so good! I’ll bet it was a royal-tea experience.
