Afternoon Tea at Origin Kensington
About
Origin Kensington invites guests to enjoy the refined elegance of Afternoon Tea at Origin Kensington, a classically British ritual elevated by authentic seasonal British produce, warm hospitality and an address steeped in royal history.
Recently awarded two AA Rosettes, Origin Kensington serves as a culinary tribute to British heritage and provenance. Guests begin their experience with a selection of tea expertly brewed at the table, followed by a selection of delicate savouries such as Forman’s smoked salmon croissants, Norfolk coronation chicken and raisin sandwich and Clonakilty black pudding and apricot sausage roll. Freshly baked scones with Rodda’s Cornish clotted cream and house-made jams follow, before ending with a delightful assortment of handcrafted sweets, including Apricot and Earl Grey choux and Chocolate and calamansi macaroon and raspberry and pistachio slices.
Nestled beside Kensington Palace, the official London residence of royalty past and present, Origin Kensington provides a truly regal backdrop for an afternoon of indulgence. The restaurant’s bright, airy interiors with a lush green view of Kensington Gardens offer a serene escape in the heart of the city.
