Paul's Luxury Afternoon Tea at the Dorchester | Paul Hollywood's Pies & Puds

[@PaulHollywoodEasyBakes]

This clip is taken from Paul Hollywood's Pies & Puds, first broadcast in 2012 on the BBC. While the Dorchester has changed since then, Paul's love of afternoon tea has not!

In 1981, I traveled to London with some colleagues from a radio station in San Francisco. We did a week of "remote" broadcasts from the Dorchester Hotel ... what a treat! We had afternoon tea on a couple of occasions, and I found that I'm much fonder of a "savory" tea, than one with cakes, and Petit Fours. In 1998, I went back to London with my Mom, who had always wanted to visit England. We went to the Dorchester for Afternoon Tea. Mom went for the sweets, and I fully enjoyed the finger sandwiches.

[@mslaurateague]

What a sweet thing you did for you mother. And you will have that lovely memory of the event.

I thought they mixed sweet with savory. I’ve had tea in several tea rooms in the San Francisco Bay Area, y all served a mix of savory and sweet. I’d love to be able to go to tea at a place like the Dorchester!

Congratulations to all chefs who produced the afternoon teas which chronicled the history from when it began.

[@claudiocavaliere856]

Absolutely enchanting! Perfect in every way! Congratulations!

[@caracoates4834]

Just visited London and went to two afternoon teas. I fell in love with the scones at the savoy, they have such soft refined texture. They served clotted cream, jam and fantastic lemon curd. As lemon lover, probably the best topping I had.

[@kell_checks_in]

Lemon curd is fairly easy to make. You might want to give it a try.

[@jimwest7107]

Savoy and Dorchester are more for real customers, the Ritz is the overly busy tourist trap

[@xhogun8578]

As a child afternoon teas at home were a special treat. From delicate sandwiches to home made pastries including brandy snaps.

[@johnraggett7147]

Thank you for the super post. On the 14th of January 1963, leaving the two star Beverley Arms Hotel, I started work at The Dorchester as a Commis d'Etage on the 8th floor. That's when it was a Swiss Hotel: the manager was Swiss as was the head chef, the head floor waiter and loads of other young men escaping Swiss military service. I also worked there as a night waiter, a fish cook and in the bill and control offices. Happy days.

[@tedoneilclark4710]

Fascinating 😀

[@lindafick8450]

I had High Tea years ago at the Empress Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Such an incredible experience. The scones and pastries were superb. The waiters wore kilts. They gave us each a box of their special Queen Victoria blend of tea to take home.

[@TheKappybook]

Yes! Was on a singing tour with my high school choir and our conductor had connections and arranged for us to do a small concert in the tea room to receive a discount on the high tea for 30 Catholic school girls from California.

[@Mrs.Karen_Walker]

you didnt had high tea... but afternoon tea. High tea is just another term for dinner/evening meal.

Thank you Mr. Hollywood! What a great slice of magic...yes, those memories of working in a dining room where passion made the magic.

[@marlan5470]

Somehow I like the small independent tea houses best. Also like the more working class cafes serving breakfast and cheap coffee. Feels more real and the people are nicer. I like to set up a "expensive afternoon tea" at home during the Christmas season.

[@bellaluce7088]

Totally agree! I'd much rather have afternoon tea in a setting that's cozy, whimsical, or naturally beautiful than a fancy hotel (although if Paul Hollywood creates the menu, I would make an exception : - ). My favorite party I ever hosted was a Halloween-themed afternoon tea, and I would love to do Christmas next! How lovely that you do that for those you love at Christmastime! 🫖❤🎄

I love the Dorchester Paul. I've never been to London but have heard of this hotel. The HIGH TEA is absolutely delightful. All the desserts and the tea is probably so wonderful. The fruit desserts are in the Victorian area. Queen Victoria. Love history. English history. Queen Elizabeth was a regal woman. I was very interested and loved her. I knew she was ill and she lived a hard life as Queen but she was a graceful and compassionate woman in her later years. Love your shows Paul!

The Dorchester is magnificent, but whenever this was filmed it had to be a few years ago because Hollywood is quite a bit thinner unless the cameras are working miracles to cover up. Seen him this past Aug 2022 on a street of NYC and I went into shock to see how huge he had gotten. My goodness!
