FESTIVE AFTERNOON TEA

In a style typical of Mandolay, as Christmas approaches it is time for our Festive Afternoon Tea to take centre stage.

Seasonal favourites, lovingly prepared by Chef David and his team deliver a promise of bold flavours, and dainty delights alongside traditional cakes, scones and generously filled, exquisite finger sandwiches.

Our homemade jams and preserves also take on a delicious seasonal touch, with cloves and cinnamon providing a hint of background warmth to our berry-packed temptations. As always of course, there will be a selection of freshly brewed leaf teas from Newby of London, all served with the care and attention deserving of the finest teas in the world.

Get Christmas off to the best possible start, and see for yourself why Mandolay is considered the best show in town when it comes to Afternoon Tea.

Served exclusively between November 16^th 2024 and January 5th 2025.

FREE FLOWING PROSECCO AFTERNOON TEA

There can be few times when the addition of perfectly chilled Prosecco cannot add to the good times.

Here at Mandolay we are delighted to offer a 90 minute Afternoon Tea service with the deliciously indulgent ‘something special’ of free-flowing Prosecco served at your table by our attentive service team.

Enjoy the same wonderful selection of handmade pastries, rich buttermilk scones of our Classic or Savoury Afternoon Tea, accompanied by the crisp sweetness of our finest Italian Sparkling wine.

*As a responsible purveyor of alcoholic beverages and to comply with current legislation the ‘free flow Prosecco’ is served at the table for the duration of your afternoon tea for 90 minutes.

CREAM TEA

SCONES

Served freshly baked and warm, we offer a plain and raisin scone with a soft, yielding texture and a colour of warm white gold. The scones are accompanied by Rodda’s Cornish clotted cream, which we consider to be the finest in Britain, and Stokes British extra strawberry jam.

JAM FIRST, OR CREAM

It’s been a topic of much debate over the generations. In our view, it is the cream that comes first, followed by a teaspoon of Stokes British extra strawberry jam. Of course, this is just our own opinion, and the order of ceremony will always remain entirely a matter of the guest’s own taste and preference.

SAVOURY AFTERNOON TEA

A brand-new interpretation of our Classic Afternoon Tea, created by Head Chef David and his team to tempt that palate of those that prefer a savoury twist.

Light as a cloud scones and savoury pastries compliment the robust flavours of this seasonal addition to our menu. Smoked salmon, roast beef and freshly baked, and herb filled sausage rolls presented alongside Arancini, and lamb bon bons, characterise the flavour-packed sensations of our Savoury Afternoon Tea.

Combining traditionally delicate appearance with strong flavours and textures, this is an absolute must for lovers of a full-bodied afternoon tea experience.

“A delightful take on the traditional afternoon tea, The Mandolay in Guildford has spiced things up with their brand new savoury afternoon tea. Muddy was the first to sample the goodies.” – Muddy Stilettos 

TRADITIONAL AFTERNOON TEA
