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.

Luxury Afternoon Tea

A very enjoyable experience. Staff polite and welcoming on arrival and the service was attentive but not intrusive, friendly and informative where necessary. Allergies were particularly well taken into consideration. The food was attractive, fresh and varied and was extremely tasty. We had a very peaceful and relaxing time and would have no hesitation in recommending the experience to others. It was a very worthwhile visit taking into account the distance we had travelled and we were grateful that my son had selected this location for us. Margaret Newland
