A royal tradition
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 - £45 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 Windsorian tea selection, curated with genuine care.
A selection of cakes that celebrate tradition and ritual. Then to make a choice. Each with a royal connection, there's a nod to the regal Victoria sponge with our Savill Garden rose and elderflower. Rich chocolate biscuit cake, a favourite of Queen Elizabeth II. And tarts full of fruits picked from nearby orchards.
Book your table, settle in, and let the afternoon take care of itself.
A festive workshop
Gather at Penningtons for an afternoon of wreath making, seasonal foliage and afternoon tea.
Janet from Stems, our local floral studio in Windsor, will guide you through making your own Christmas wreath. Then celebrate the season with our seasonal afternoon tea. With Darvilles of Windsor tea poured throughout. Good festive planning needs a brew to talk over.
Saturday 21st November, 1pm to 3.30pm
£95 per person, including the wreath-making workshop and afternoon tea.
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.
