A royal tradition served from the trolley.
Afternoon tea in the heart of Windsor, with the Castle just across the road. Proper patisserie, hand-curated teas, and the kind of unhurried afternoon this town has always done beautifully.
A royal tradition
Afternoon tea has always been about the pleasure of good company, a strong brew, and a platter of delicacies. In Windsor, that feeling comes naturally. There's something about this town, its history, its quiet sense of occasion, that makes an afternoon well spent feel entirely right.
At Penningtons, we honour that tradition warmly, all the finer details and without fuss.
- Traditional afternoon tea, £40 per person
- Sparkling afternoon tea, £55 per person
A classic menu
Seasonal patisserie, a few to mark royal moments, warm scones, and a handful of British classics. A locally sourced Windosrian tea selection, curated with genuine care.
And then, a quiet moment of royalty, the dessert trolley. Decorated in all forms of patisserie and sweet gems. Arriving at your table with a nod to Windsor's love of a little ceremony, done gently and with a smile.
Book your table, settle in, and let the afternoon take care of itself.
The trolley will find you.
The gift of a proper afternoon
These walls have always been a gathering place. From George Pennington's Mermaid Inn to the brasserie that stands here today, Windsor has long understood the art of gracious hospitality and afternoon tea, in the shadow of the Castle, feels like exactly the right way to honour that.
A Penningtons afternoon tea voucher makes a beautiful gift for someone worth spoiling. Whether it's a birthday, an anniversary, or simply a reason to slow down and enjoy the finer things, treat them to an afternoon that Windsor does better than most.
Proper patisserie. Hand-curated teas. The trolley arrived with a quiet sense of occasion. And all the time in the world to enjoy it.
A little royal, a lot of pleasure. The perfect gift.
