Afternoon tea in the South East

There are plenty of places to enjoy an afternoon tea in England’s beautiful South East region, which encompasses a popular stretch of coastline, two National Parks and a number of famous towns and cities all within easy reach of London.

From a relaxing spa day with afternoon tea in the peaceful university town of Oxford to a quirkier cream tea by the sea in Brighton and from tea at a vineyard to tea by a magnificent royal castle, the options are endless. Head to the South East and combine afternoon tea with a visit to a landmark such as the White Cliffs of Dover or Windsor Castle or let it complement a full day of rambling in the South Downs or the Chiltern Hills.

Afternoon tea

Yesterday we had our afternoon tea it was a Christmas present from last year for the 2 of us it was a bit to far for us to come but we made the effort with the park and ride we walked around the shops bought a few things then went for our afternoon tea it was lovely lovely sandwiches, scones cream jam 2 pots of tea and lovely sweet cakes on the top tier by that time we had to ask for a box to put them in because we were full and we could have them at home after our drive home our experience was 100% and we’ll have to see if Father Christmas brings us another one this year thank you for making our day complete xx.

Peaceful, fascinating, exactly as hoped

We allowed the whole day so as not to be in a rush and it was TOTALLY worth it. Wisley is an extraordinarily place to spend time in and the red letter day with the added treat of afternoon tea made it super easy for us to enjoy. Thank you!

Excellent experience

We found the venue, which was very pleasant, easily. The welcome was both friendly and efficient. The afternoon tea was one of the best we have had. Sandwichs, scone and cakes were all very good and there was plenty of evrything. (Box provided to take home what we could not manage). All together first class.
