The Afternoon Tea Menu: A Culinary Delight

We know it’s all about the menu when it comes to picking your place for afternoon tea. And the afternoon tea at The Crab & Lobster is more than just scones and sandwiches. We’ve chosen a carefully curated menu that showcases a range of local flavours and textures. The menu begins with a range of sandwiches, whether it’s the delicate crab and lobster brioche or the classic egg mayo served on white bloom of bread, each bite will offer you a burst of fresh flavours. 

If you want something more adventurous, we offer the Wensleydale cheese with Walnut and Date bread as a standout offer, balancing savoury and sweet notes. And of course, we always offer the smoked salmon with cream cheese on a bagel that brings that touch of sophistication to the mix. Our savoury selection doesn’t stop there either, with a warm, flaky sausage roll adding a hearty touch. 

Afternoon tea is not complete without a selection of sweet treats and the menu at The Crab & Lobster does not disappoint. You’ll be wowed by an assortment of delicate cakes, including seasonal fruit tartlets and macarons that are as beautiful as they are delicious. Cheesecake adds a creamy and indulgent layer to the experience with flavours that change according to the season. You’ll of course still maintain the traditional scones and slices of cake, but served with clotted cream and raspberry and vanilla jams.

Accompanying your experience is the crab and lobster menu of extension teas and coffees, from the rich Assam to the fragrant Morocco Mint. If you’re a tea enthusiast, the choice of loose leaf teas such as Darjeeling and Lapsang provides the range that you’re looking for.
