Afternoon tea has a distinctly local story: the tradition is believed to have begun in Leicestershire in the 1840s, making an afternoon tea East Midlands experience feel especially at home here. Yet choosing a memorable outing is about more than heritage; you want a thoughtfully presented table, a menu with variety and practical details that make the visit easy to plan.<\/p>\n

At Haute Priv\u00e9, the private venue above Haute Dolci on Granby Street in Leicester, afternoon tea brings savoury sandwiches, pastries, patisserie, scones and loose-leaf teas together, with welcome juice shots and a non-alcoholic Champagne option. It\u2019s a four-minute walk from Leicester Train Station, a helpful detail for guests travelling from across the region. Discover what to look for on the menu, what to expect when you arrive and how to plan a visit, whether you\u2019re celebrating a special occasion or gathering a group.<\/p>\n
