Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Gravesend

Gloriously beautiful venue....clearly an absolute labor of love. Service was impeccable and food was delicious. Excellent and imaginative cocktails.

Lady Mendl’s traditional afternoon tea is a wonderful experience - delicious food, excellent service and a beautiful setting. I highly recommend it.

This was such a cozy, quirky tea room! We booked a Grand Vanderbilt seating and requested pre-brews the night before of the English Breakfast and Toffee Teas. When we arrived we were immediately seated on big spacious couches that were tall enough to make it feel like being in a private booth. Our host Isabelle gave us a great introduction to how the tea would be served and they had an awesome service request system where you could put a clip on your tower if you needed service otherwise they would leave you alone and let you chat. Our full tower was gorgeous and delicious! I just did a year in the UK and can confirm that this rivaled the high teas abroad. The sheer variety of little sandwiches was a highlight and I appreciated the small portions because there were so many. We were full of tea and treats by the end and had a great time gossiping. Price-wise I'd say it's worth it, there is plenty of food and unlimited tea, they offered to go on anything we didn't finish and the service plus ambience make it a fantastic overall experience!

This place was on my short list for quite a while and it didn't disappoint. Quality food and teas, quiet atmosphere, cute setup all around.

Lunch at Palma Was ABSOLUTELY outstanding! From the welcoming host greeting us when we came in to the flowers surrounding our table and ornate porcelain plates. Every detail makes you feel welcomed and cared for. The food is supremely fantastic with only the best locally sourced ingredients. I highly recommend the Pissaladiere, which is from the French side of the menu a savory Provencal tart and the tiramisu! Buon appetito and Bon appétit!
