Food items include smoked salmon, cucumber, and Black Forest ham sandwiches; a goat cheese tartlet; and curried chicken in a sesame seed cone. Scones are served with Devonshire clotted cream and house-made marmalade and jams.

Desserts change seasonally but can include raspberry macaroons, dark chocolate cake with gold leaf, lemon tartlet, spicy cheesecake, and chocolate truffles.

The special children's afternoon tea includes peanut butter and jelly and turkey and cheese sandwiches, scones, a cupcake, and selected pastries.
