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.

Excellent food, friendly service
Less than easy to make the reservation via Red Letter Days, but a phone call to The Three Fyshes sorted it. A very enjoyable afternoon.

Lovely afternoon tea
The hotel is lovely and the room we had tea in was beautiful. It was a delicious afternoon tea with a good choice of teas or coffee if you preferred. The tea was loose leaf. There were 4 different sandwiches and a sausage roll. A fruit and plain scone and 4 different patisserie cakes. The staff were attentive and polite. They gave you plenty of space to enjoy your tea.

beautiful setting
We have been to Tylney Hall before and were delighted with the afternoon tea, and were pleased when we were given another opportunity to go there. The Hall is located in a stunning setting. All the staff were very attentive. The afternoon tea was delicious and we were in the Lounge which was very comfortable. Restful music was playing to complete the experience. It was wonderful.
