About today's deal

Anna Maria Russell or the 7th Duchess of Bedford, as some of you may know her, invented the afternoon tea in 1841. What’s even more thrilling is that she invented it by accident, tired of apples and grapes in the afternoon, she called for some tea and cake to tide her over before dinner.

Now if that’s not evidence that the best ideas are often thought up over a cup of tea and a few slices of cake then we don’t know what is.

Raise a glass (and a piece of cake) to the divine Duchess with today’s itison deal for an Anna Maria Russell Afternoon Tea for two at the sensational Blythswood Square for just £32.

We’re offering a fabulous Champagne afternoon tea for two people including freshly baked scones, a selection of freshly cut finger sandwiches, scrumptiously sweet pastries and cakes with a pot of tea or freshly brewed coffee and a glass of Maison Louis Roederer bubbly each – all for just £32!

The multi award-winning Blythswood Square is one of Glasgow’s most iconic hotels with a fabulous Salon perfect for chilled out catch ups with girlfriends. Its afternoon teas are second to none and we reckon you’ll be hooked after just one…afternoons will never be the same again.
