Autumn afternoons were made for this. 🍂

A warm, cosy setting, a proper pot of tea and three tiers of delicious things to share.

There's something rather lovely about escaping the October chill and settling in for an afternoon with someone you haven't caught up with in far too long.

And at 1842 Café & Bistro, our Afternoon Tea for Two is just £25 throughout October.

Available Monday to Saturday, 12pm–5pm, until 31 October.

Please book at least 24 hours in advance.
