Afternoon Tea

TREATS RIGHT ON TIME

May 2025

We’re delighted to announce the arrival of our new afternoon tea in the Glendevon.

When Gleneagles first opened over a century ago, it was one of the country’s first ‘railway hotels’, built with its own station to offer the great and the good of the day easy access to Scotland’s wilds.

Now, over a hundred years on, we’ve created a magical afternoon tea that celebrates this heritage, and the importance train travel has played in our bright history. While our tiered stands might feel familiar, their layers of teatime treats offer unique take on this special ritual, making for an unforgettable afternoon of sweet surprises.

Our meticulously minded culinary team have poured over our archive to take their cues from the golden age of railway travel and the enduring romance of slow afternoons. The results are a refreshed offering with a gentle nod to a bygone era – where polished silver gleamed, conversation was unhurried and the journey was every bit as important as the destination.

Over the course of the afternoon, you’ll be served delightful bites with enchanting stories behind them. Start with canapés and a traditional Scottish ‘beef tea’, before indulging in delicate finger sandwiches filled with the finest Scottish produce, as well as a range of savoury bites.

Refresh your palate between courses with hand shaved strawberry ice, made as it would have been made in the 1900s, delivered straight from our new Champagne bar, and finished with a splash of Moët & Chandon, should the occasion call for it.

For sweets, nostalgic childhood treats have been reimagined and elevated with flair, skilfully recreated in true Gleneagles style. All this is followed by freshly baked scones with lashings of cream and jam, plus a little something to take on your onwards journey: a sweet parting gift.

Hosted, as always, in the beautiful Glendevon, with its unmatched views across our glorious grounds to the Ochil Hills beyond, this is an experience designed to be savoured. Sit back on our velvet sofas or comfortable lounge chairs and enjoy having nowhere to be.

Whether you’re marking a special occasion or simply indulging in a long, lazy afternoon, it’s a wonderful excuse to pause, delight in the details and treat someone (or yourself) to something truly timeless.

This elegant new menu will be served Friday to Monday, 12:30pm – 3:30pm, throughout the coming year. We look forward to welcoming you.
