In this case, what better way could there be to assuage that hunger than to head for St Ermin’s Hotel in Westminster, London, for one of their mouth-watering afternoon teas? This is afternoon tea as it is meant to be served – complete with tasty treats and tempting sandwiches. You can opt for the Classic Afternoon Tea if you wish, complete with a fine selection of finger sandwiches, freshly created and served in the stunning surroundings of the library. If you’ve missed lunch, this is the perfect opportunity to be sure you catch up.


You’ll also be treated to warmed scones baked on-site, complete with the classic accompaniments of strawberry jam and the famous clotted cream to top them off with.

The other option is to go for the Honey Afternoon Tea, honoring St Ermin’s’ collection of bees. There are an incredible 200,000 Buckfast honeybees on the roof of the hotel, and it is from these bees that the honey-themed menu is derived.
You’ll have the opportunity to sample lemon and honey polenta cake, honey and caramel mousse, and even honey Bakewell tart. Of course, you’ll also get a delightful selection of finger sandwiches and freshly baked scones, complete with strawberry jam, clotted cream, and yes, you guessed it, a tenderly tasteful drop of honey. This option also includes a jar of St Ermin’s honey to take home.
