Unbeknownst to henkind, when gin first married tonic, there was some space left between them.
A space that could only be filled by one thing and one thing only... CAKE!
Fast-forward to one sunny afternoon in a crafty York brasserie, the gin afternoon tea was born.
Hungry? There's plenty to eat. Thirsty? There's plenty to drink.
Yes, this is afternoon tea taken to the next level and the perfect addition to your big weekend away.
Come & See For Yourself!
Be welcomed into the lovely York restaurant that boasts a relaxed setting with a colourful décor.
Yup, the place is wonderfully influenced by peacock feathers and an Art Nouveau style!
Am I having tea? Am I getting tipsy? How about both!
To start, each of you will get a gin and a tonic.
Get yo'self a London Dry, Old Tom or Roman Fruit each, mix it with Fever Tree and start working on it while the waiter's bringing you plate after plate of heaven in edible form.
We're talking finger sandwiches and cakes, warm scones and clotted cream with Pink Grapefruit & York Gin Marmalade because we're extra fancy.
And, of course, you can sip on a hot cuppa tea or coffee of your choice.
And The Location?
Yup, pretty much central: an itsy bit to the left and a quick zig-zaggy walk from the Shambles and you're there.
So what are you doing here still admiring our awesome writing skills (can't blame ya).
Now hurry up and send us that York hen enquiry because, unlike your high school teacher, we don't have favourites and will book your dates out if another group reaches us first.
