The Egerton's offers a [Doggie Afternoon Tea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cesar-restaurant-weekend-2025), which treats pets to snacks like a chicken and beef meatloaf, a homemade doggy biscuit, [ice cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doggy-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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beertown-public-house), The Egerton also caters to niche audiences by offering afternoon tea menus specifically for kids, vegetarians, vegans and those with gluten intolerances. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Hip Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/hiphotels) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Pet-friendly Afternoon Tea Events:** Event spaces can explore catering to pet owners by arranging special treats and menus to keep guests with pets engaged and involved. - **Niche Afternoon Tea Menus:** Businesses can consider catering to specific groups like kids, vegetarians, vegans, and those with gluten intolerances to increase engagement and customer satisfaction. - **Inclusive Pet-friendly Hospitality:** New concepts focused on pets as guests can be introduced in hotels and other hospitality businesses to attract an underserved audience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Hospitality:** Hotels and restaurants can attract new audiences and keep guests engaged with new innovative ideas like pet-friendly menus and events. - **Pet Care:** Pet care businesses can explore new concepts focused on pampering pets to provide a unique and special experience to their owners. - **Culinary:** Restaurants and catering services can cater to the growing demand for niche menus, be it for health reasons or allergies, to attract new customers and gain customer loyalty. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Parisian-Themed Afternoon Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dilly.md) - [Regency-Themed Tea Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afternoon-tea-experience.md) - [Dog-Friendly Tasting Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dogue.md) - [Fragrant Hotel Tea Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floris-london-tea-experience.md) - [Indulgent Afternoon Tea Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-creed-tea.md) - [Bee-Themed Afternoon Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hilton-palm-jumeirah.md) - [Seasonal Pet-Friendly Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-friendly-menu.md) - [Spring-Inspired Tea Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astors-floral-afternoon-tea.md) - [Canine-Friendly Restaurant Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cafe-villa.md)
