“There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.” – Henry James

There’s something wonderfully indulgent about taking time out for Afternoon Tea. A table filled with delicate sandwiches, freshly baked scones, beautiful cakes and a pot of freshly brewed tea, all enjoyed at your leisure in elegant surroundings.

This autumn, Afternoon Tea is back at Tankardstown House, giving you the perfect excuse to slow down, catch up with friends and family, or simply treat yourself to an afternoon of luxury in the Meath countryside.

Afternoon Tea at the Morris Suite


From Saturday, 17th October, Afternoon Tea will be served every Saturday and Sunday in the beautiful Morris Suite at Brabazon Restaurant.

Set within the elegant surroundings of Tankardstown House, the Morris Suite provides the perfect setting for a leisurely afternoon. When the weather is clement, guests can also enjoy Afternoon Tea alfresco on the picturesque terrace.

Expect a traditional Afternoon Tea stand filled with an assortment of scrumptious sandwiches, freshly baked scones served with clotted cream and jam, and an irresistible selection of bakes and cakes.

Your Afternoon Tea is accompanied by a choice of freshly brewed teas, from classic favourites to more exotic blends, making it easy to settle in and enjoy the occasion.

The Perfect Afternoon Treat

Afternoon Tea is about more than what’s on the stand. It’s about taking a little time to yourself, enjoying good conversation and making an occasion of an ordinary afternoon.
