Experience the perfect serve with our tennis-themed afternoon tea

Tennis fever is sweeping the nation, and here at The Grand we’re particularly excited to see the Aegon International Tennis tournament returning to Eastbourne on 24 June followed by Wimbledon 2017 starting on 3 July – and to celebrate we are offering an ace of an afternoon tea.

Available from Friday  23 June (the opening weekend of the Aegon International tournament) until the men’s final of Wimbledon on Sunday 16 July, our specially-created afternoon tea is a treat not to be missed for fans of tennis and classic British food.

Our ‘Grand Slam’ afternoon tea will be served in the stunning Great Hall and lounges, and will include a ‘Queen’s’ coronation chicken sandwich, freshly baked scones with English strawberry jam and clotted cream and a Pimms jelly, alongside a host of other tennis-themed treats.

As is tradition, the decadent tea will be served with a wide variety of speciality teas, but those who really feel like celebrating can also enjoy one our limited-edition tennis cocktails!

Created especially for the season by our talented mixologists, the cocktails on offer are a ‘Grand Slam’ made with Midori lemon liqueur, ginger ale and fresh lime, and the ‘English Picnic’ featuring classic summer flavours with Chase English rhubarb vodka, strawberry syrup and fresh cream, topped off with frozen summer fruits.

Our tennis afternoon tea is available to book from Friday 23 June to Sunday 16 July from 2.45pm to 6.30pm from £26.00 per person, and cocktails can be added from £13.95.
