Walk of the week: a palace on our doorstep. 👑🍂

Once upon a time, just across the road from Hampton Court Palace, there stood a riverside hotel on the Thames where families came for autumn adventures…

Stay at The Mitre this half-term and let the little ones get lost (just a bit) in the palace maze, go hunting for Tudor ghosts, spot the deer in Bushy Park and wave at the boats drifting down the river. Then head back to the hotel for a hearty family supper and a well-earned night's sleep, dreaming of kings and queens.

The perfect autumn mini break by the Thames, with a sprinkle of royal magic for the whole family.

There's a particular kind of quiet that falls over a room when someone who truly knows meat starts talking about it. Last month, that quiet fell over The Mitre for one very delicious evening.

Richard Robinson opened the night with all the warmth you'd expect from us, before handing the floor to Charlie and the team from HG Walter, who talked us through the finest cuts going. From provenance to heritage. The whole story behind what ends up on the plate. No stiff lecture, mind: questions flew, w**e flowed, and more than a few guests swapped their own kitchen war stories along the way. This is exactly the kind of evening we love hosting. Pull up a chair, get stuck in, leave knowing something you didn't before.

The Mitre is a riverside retreat in historic Hampton Court, directly opposite the Palace gates, where heritage and hospitality have always gone hand in hand.

Tiny bites. Huge personality.

Perfectly paired with your favourite drink and dangerously easy to keep reaching for.

We're still keeping the full menu tucked away for now... because where's the fun in giving away all the surprises?

It might look like Provence, but this is London…

From the terraces and deck of The Mitre, with the Thames gently winding past, you could almost imagine yourself in a Provençal setting, without ever leaving Hampton Court.

With , take to the water and enjoy a little adventure of your own. A wonderful experience to share with friends and family, with little ones most welcome too.

A rather charming way to spend a day by the river, wouldn’t you say?

As we celebrate Afternoon Tea Month this August at The Mitre, we’re turning our attention to the little questions that matter most.

Scone or “scon”? Jam first, or cream first?

Even our team can’t quite agree! And here at The Mitre, however you take your afternoon tea, there’s absolutely no judgement, only delicious indulgence.

Escape to the charm of the Thames at The Mitre and settle in for an afternoon tea with all the trimmings.
