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.

A great day out. Intermittent drizzle did not spoil the occasion as there were plenty of indoor exhibits etc.

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!

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.

Excellent afternoon tea

This was a birthday gift from a friend. The tea room is very snug but the staff/owners were just lovely. There was plenty of choice. The scones were absolutely delicious and after the lovely sandwich and scones we were too full up to eat the cake. We were able to have it boxed so we could enjoy our choice at home. All in all a very enjoyable afternoon tea. Would definitely go again.
