Serving afternoon tea is a British tradition, but The Egerton offers a fresh take on this idea by hosting afternoon tea events with a twist. The Egerton's offers a Doggie Afternoon Tea, which treats pets to snacks like a chicken and beef meatloaf, a homemade doggy biscuit, ice cream and a chew toy for them to take home. In the same way that bite-sized finger sandwiches are often served on fancy three-tier trays, The Egerton also makes a special effort to make sure its four-legged guests have their food presented to them just as well.
As well as offering a pet-friendly selection of treats, The Egerton also caters to niche audiences by offering afternoon tea menus specifically for kids, vegetarians, vegans and those with gluten intolerances.
