Diners will certainly be in for a treat with the menu’s masculine twist on the traditional afternoon tea, by replacing the classic cucumber sandwich and a teacup with a beer bottle in one hand and a burger in the other. The miniature savories showcase some of Chapters’ signature dishes, as well as brand new creations. The Gentleman’s Afternoon Tea menu will be available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, to be pre-booked only, for £32, or about 51 US dollars, per person.
