Step aboard the train and travel back to the elegance and charm of the 1950s.

Created for our friends at the Hamilton Vintage Society, this specially curated Afternoon Tea celebrates the recipes, flavours, and traditions of a classic mid-century tea party. To create an authentic experience, we rummaged through the thousands of vintage books in the Hamilton Prop House collection, uncovering original recipes and inspiration from the era.

Settle into your seat, sip tea from our vintage china, perhaps enjoy a cheeky cocktail, and spend the afternoon surrounded by nostalgia, conversation, and timeless hospitality.

Your afternoon tea includes:

🫖 A selection of classic cocktail sandwiches
🥧 Delicious 1950s-inspired party savouries
🍓 Freshly baked scones with house-made preserves and whipped cream
🧁 Dainty sweet pastries inspired by the era
🍮 A vintage-style dessert cup

Whether you're a member of the Hamilton Vintage Society, a lover of history, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of vintage traditions, this immersive Tea on the Train promises a delightful afternoon filled with wonderful food, warm company, and a touch of nostalgia.

Vintage attire is warmly encouraged—but not required.

Seats aboard the train are limited, so reserve yours early.

All aboard for an unforgettable journey back to the fabulous fifties!
