Original Maids Of Honour

At The Original Maids of Honour, an enchanting experience of British tradition unfolds just steps away from the spectacle of Kew Gardens. The extensive menu, crafted in-house, honors age-old techniques with its famed scones and the must-try Maid of Honour tart—a testament to their rich culinary heritage dating back centuries. In a setting replete with nostalgic charm, guests dine amidst chintz curtains and delicate china on tables adorned with floral decor. Among the highlights is the diverse array of afternoon tea offerings, which include delightful quiches and sweet pastries straight from their on-site kitchen. Though beloved for its warm, inviting atmosphere guided by the ever-pleasant team led by manager Nevinha, the bustling tearoom can sometimes show signs of its popularity with understaffed moments. Despite this, the unique character and hearty selection beckon visitors back, providing a lovely retreat with distinct historical flair against the modern metropolis backdrop.
