    Afternoon tea; My daughters arranged Afternoon tea for a birthday treat. We had a wonderful time. The surroundings were beautiful, atmosphere was lovely, staff were friendly and courteous. We had the Winter Afternoon tea with a glass of fizz. The savoury selection was very tasty 😋 and the Earl Grey tea flavourful. The cake selection was sublime, homemade scones were light and moist, opera cake was zingy, our favourite was the chocolate and berry cake. It was busy but didn't feel crowded. We were able to enjoy a leisurely couple of hours enjoying our meal. Everything was spotless, smart restrooms 🚻 and the aroma as you walked into the building was lovely. A memorable, enjoyable Afternoon tea.

    A group of us dined here on Sunday evening. The food was fantastic (the duck and the pork chop in particular!) and the staff were lovely and very attentive. Friends of ours were celebrating their engagement and the kitchen team sent out a congratulatory plate of truffles on the house. The wine list is great (a good range of varieties and prices) and the desserts were presented very well and very tasty (although the profiterole might be a sharer, it’s huge!). A great atmosphere in a beautiful setting with brilliant staff and food.

    This was my very first afternoon tea experience — and I’m absolutely thrilled! Parker’s Tavern, with its rich history since 1834, made it truly unforgettable. I want to thank the wonderful staff who patiently explained everything to me and guided me through the entire experience. Your kindness and attention meant a lot. The portions were unexpectedly generous, and every single detail — from the tea selection to the scones and sweets — was absolutely perfect. I’m still smiling just thinking about it. This was such a special moment for me, and I’ll be sharing many more photos soon on my Instagram: @anna.nosok. Thank you again for making my first afternoon tea so magical!
