In honour of Father's Day, the Milestone Hotel in London is offering "Gentleman's Afternoon Tea" during the month of June with an array of savoury items and unlimited teas well as a variety of ales and whiskies – reports Hotels Magazine.
While the traditional afternoon tea menu at the Milestone offers tea, finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with jam and clotted Devonshire cream, a selection of pastries and champagne, the "Gentleman's Afternoon Tea" menu takes a different approach. In addition to unlimited tea, guests will be offered ale and whisky, mini homemade pork pies, mini Cornish pasties, mini Scotch eggs, mini toads-in-the-hole, finger sandwiches, maple-cured bacon scones with truffle butter and traditional scones with clotted cream and preserves. A collection of sweets combine with liquors in cupcakes with whisky-cream-cheese frosting, a tart of brandy-soaked berries and chocolate-and-orange liqueur torte.

"Although we're calling it "Gentleman's Afternoon Tea," said Milestone General Manager Andrew Pike, "the jury is still out on who will be more pleased about this alternative menu — ladies or gentlemen."

The Milestone Hotel is a five-star luxury hotel with 44 deluxe guest rooms, 12 suites, and six long-stay apartments. It is located opposite Kensington Palace and is a member of the Red Carnation Hotels Collection
