Gift Tips

  • Book ahead if possible, since afternoon tea seats can fill quickly, especially for weekends or special occasions.
  • Try the lobster roll or lobster-focused savory items if they are on the current tea menu; they are a standout choice for a first visit.
  • Save room for the scones, which are often a favorite part of the tea service and pair well with the loose-leaf teas.
  • Ask the staff about tea options, including herbal and black blends, since the team is known for helping guests choose a tea that fits their taste.
  • If you have dietary needs, mention them when booking; the kitchen is known for making thoughtful substitutions when possible.
