Allergen Afternoon Tea

An Afternoon Tea for everyone

At The Assembly House, we believe that everyone deserves a spectacular afternoon tea experience. That’s why we’ve developed a beautiful, delicious, and safe non-themed Allergen Afternoon Tea designed to cater for multiple dietary needs while maintaining our high standards.

What’s changing?

We will continue to offer the following themed afternoon teas for the following diets:

✅ No allergens

✅ Vegetarian

✅ Dairy-free

✅ Vegan

✅ Gluten-free

✅ Vegetarian and gluten-free (with 48-hours’ notice)

✅ Vegetarian and dairy-free (with 48-hours’ notice)

✅ Dairy-free and gluten-free (with 48-hours’ notice)

However, due to the complexity and safety concerns of catering to multiple allergens within our themed teas, we are now introducing a dedicated option for guests with more complex dietary needs.

Food law identifies and regulates the following 14 allergens as the most potent and prevalent: celery, cereals containing gluten (such as wheat, rye, barley and oats), crustaceans (such as prawns, crabs and lobsters), eggs, fish, lupin, milk, molluscs (such as mussels and oysters), mustard, peanuts, sesame, soybeans, sulphur dioxide and sulphites (at a concentration of more than ten parts per million) and tree nuts (such as almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, Brazil nuts, cashews, pecans, pistachios and macadamia nuts).

This tea does not contain any of the 14 regulated allergen ingredients.

Our Non-Themed Allergen Afternoon Tea

Carefully crafted to cover all 14 of the regulated allergens, this tea is just as beautiful and indulgent as our other offerings. It includes:

A selection of superior wraps

  • Red pepper, tomato and basil pâté wrap
  • Wild mushroom and truffle pâté wrap
