The sandwich was invented in Georgian times and the tradition of afternoon tea not long after the Georgian era ended, so it is perhaps fitting that you would enjoy a delicious and traditional afternoon tea in the Regency tearoom at The Francis Hotel.
Afternoon tea is currently not available while we are busy working on a new afternoon tea concept which will launch in May 2025 following the launch of our new restaurant.
Indulge in the timeless charm of afternoon tea at The Francis Hotel in Bath, where tradition meets sophistication. Nestled in the heart of this historic city, our elegant Regency-style setting sets the stage for an experience that is nothing short of exquisite.
Immerse yourself in the quintessential English tradition of afternoon tea, complete with finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones, and a delectable array of pastries, all paired with your choice of the finest teas or a glass of bubbly.
Guests can enjoy the traditional elements of a quintessentially English afternoon tea with a selection of finger sandwiches including smoked salmon and beetroot butter, ham and mustard and classic cucumber and cream cheese.
Of course no afternoon tea would be complete without freshly baked fruit and plain scones served with Cornish cream and jam and a mouth-watering selection of delicious mini teacakes. All topped off with your choice of loose-tea from local tea producers Gillards of Bath.
Want to go the extra mile? Upgrade your afternoon tea to enjoy a glass of Da Luca Prosecco or Louis Dornier Brut Champagne.
Or why not opt for one of our signature Bridgerton cocktails? Take your pick from the Whiskey inspired Simon Basset, the rum inspired Colin Bridgerton or the fruity Eloise Bridgerton.
