MENU INFORMATION
Afternoon Tea is a traditional mid-day experience featuring finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones, pastries, and tea.
High Tea is often used casually to describe Afternoon Tea, but historically it referred to a heartier, more casual evening meal.
Scottish High Tea at Pendray is a more substantial experience with warm savoury dishes, scones, and desserts; perfect as an early evening meal in a cosy historic setting.
While Afternoon Tea and Scottish High Tea are tea-focused experiences, our Sunday Roast offers a classic British dinner alternative for guests seeking a more traditional evening meal.
Yes. Scottish High Tea is one of our signature experiences, offering a hearty yet refined twist on tradition. It’s ideal for guests looking for a more filling, evening-style tea service while still enjoying the elegance and charm of Pendray Tea House.
