Afternoon tea for men

Men's afternoon tea

Forget anti-ageing moisturiser or pedicures, the latest hot trend for metrosexual men is afternoon tea!



After years of scones and Earl Grey being preserved mainly for ladies who lunch, hen parties or mother-and-daughter duos, the Mandeville Hotel in London has decided to let men muscle in on the upper class favourite with a special menu just for the boys.



Including a range of whiskies, as well as the more traditional champagne option, the tea also includes roast sirloin sandwiches, chicken satay and double chocolate brownies.



To accompany their tea, men can choose from a selection of games, including poker, backgammon, chess and dominoes.



How very civilised…

I took my other half for tea at The Mandeville Hotel after seeing this and he loved it! Made a great birthday present! Plus it meant he was in a good mood for a trek around nearby Selfridges!
