Apex City of Glasgow Hotel

There are occasions that call for a little more refinement than a bar rendezvous or coffee-house catch-up. These are the events that simply demand afternoon tea. Preferably in chic and relaxed surroundings. With scones, it goes without saying.

Anticipating such a need, we offer today’s Big Deal, providing afternoon tea for two in the cool, contemporary ambience of the Apex City Centre Lounge, one of the city’s most civilised spaces.

Style and sophistication

The Apex City Centre, handily situated a short stroll from Buchanan Street, is an ideal city centre meeting point.

Décor in the Apex Lounge is contemporary, cool and understated, creating the perfect vibe for exchanging a few indiscretions over tea, cakes and sandwiches.

Available seven days a week for sittings at noon and 3pm, today’s Big Deal offers afternoon tea for two, selected from the Apex’s generous menu.

Visitors can start with a range of sandwiches including ham and mustard on white bread, roast beef and horseradish on brown and egg mayo in a brioche bun. They can also opt for haggis bon bons and a cheese and onion mini quiche.

The cake trolley comprises a tempting list of goodies including lemon drizzle cake, chocolate brownie with vanilla mascarpone, strawberry tart, chocolate orange meringue sandwich and that voguish Aussie import the raspberry Lamington.

Naturally, that afternoon tea staple, the plain or fruit scone with Cornish clotted cream and strawberry jam, is present and correct.

Choose from a wide selection of teas or freshly-brewed coffees

Cool rendezvous

This Big Deal afternoon tea at Apex is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a civilised get-together with family or friends. With lashings of hot tea, cakes and sandwiches, it’s the perfect way to while away the afternoon. More lemon drizzle?

Don’t mind if I do.
