🎉 Why It’s Special
It’s not just afternoon tea—it’s a Christmas-themed, immersive experience in the heart of Chester. The décor of Alice’s Parlour itself adds a playful, whimsical twist: the perfect backdrop for something a little different.
The set-up from Tuesday to Saturday gives you flexibility: whether you’re catching up with friends, treating family, or planning a mid-week indulgence, there’s a slot for you.
The menu has been carefully curated to reflect seasonal flavours while maintaining the high standards Oddfellows are known for.
By launching on 19th November, you get to beat the full Christmas rush and enjoy it in slightly quieter surroundings—ideal for a relaxed, luxurious experience.
💡 Tip for Booking
Aim for an early slot (12–1 pm) if you’d like a more leisurely pace and maybe a quieter environment.
For something more sociable or later afternoon, the 3–5 pm window lets you linger and soak up the venue’s ambience.
We offer Vegetarian and Gluten Free alternatives on request - this must be stated at time of booking so ingredients can be prepared. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate Vegan or Lactose Free options at this time.
Consider making it part of a day out in Chester: you could arrive for your tea, explore the city, and maybe stay overnight (Oddfellows has boutique rooms if you’d like to turn it into a mini break).
🕰️ Final Call
From Wednesday 19th November, let your afternoons sparkle with mince-pie flavours, warm teas, and a venue that offers more than just a seat—it offers a story. Whether you're gathering with friends, spoiling someone special, or simply treating yourself, the Festive Afternoon Tea at Oddfellows Chester invites you to step through the looking glass and indulge in style.
Reserve your table now and make this festive season one to remember!
