For a limited time only a restaurant in Richmond is serving up a traditional afternoon tea throughout July inspired by the annual Wimbledon tennis Championships.

The Petersham restaurant, on Nightingale Lane, will be serving a sporting tea from July 3 to July 16 to it’s customers featuring a range of tennis-themed treats and freshly-made sandwiches.

Guests can dine on ‘tie-breaker’ passionfruit curd and strawberry tart, a ‘break point’ hazelnut praline opera cake and a ‘set point’ choux bun, as well as traditional scones with jam and clotted cream.

To keep the palette wet, the restaurant will be serving a selection of loose-leaf Novis teas including Dragonwell Green, Organic Darjeeling and Sapphire Earl Grey or guests can add a little sparkle with a class of champagne.
