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.

Beautiful setting, friendly and welcoming staff and an excellent afternoon tea which I often struggle to find as I'm gluten free. Thank you.

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!

very nice to receive
Had a lovely afternoon tea. Fresh sandwiches. Yummy scones and fantastic cakes . Too many to finish so we (wife and me ) took some, along with my special birthday slice, home with us in a box . Very impressive first class hotel. Attentive waiter.

Delicious Tea, Nice Surroundings
This was a lovely way to spend an afternoon with my mum and sister. We enjoyed the tea. The staff were very friendly and obliging. We also enjoyed walking around the grounds, particularly the walled kitchen garden.

Wonderful experience
I took a friend. We are both coeliac and we were catered for with no problems. I would have liked another pot of tea offered to us but that's trivial. We both really enjoyed the lovely surroundings. The staff were very helpful and efficient .
