Built in 1844, Malmaison Reading is the oldest surviving station hotel in the world, perfectly retaining the style and decadence of the golden age of rail travel.

Malmaison have re-imagined the classic Afternoon Tea menu. Savouries include a beef slider on brioche bun, Cumberland sausage & apple roll and prawn cocktail. Sweet treats include Calamansi citrus meringue tart, dark chocolate & salted caramel tart and raspberry ripple & white chocolate sundae.

Special dietary requirements are catered for, with alternative menus for vegetarians/vegans and for those with gluten and nut allergies. Pre-booking is required. Please specify dietary needs using the 'Special Request' field.

All Afternoon Tea menus are served with a choice of teas and infusions, including English breakfast, Earl Grey and Green tea with jasmine.

Afternoon Tea is served Friday and Saturday from 12pm to 4pm and costs £29.50 per person.
