Afternoon tea in the South West

Home to some of the UK’s prettiest seaside resorts, the glorious landscapes of the West Country and the exciting, diverse city of Bristol, this colourful region has always been popular with tourists.

But whatever the reason for your visit, there’s a special reason to take afternoon tea in the South West. Amongst other famous contributions to British cuisine (like the Cornish pasty) it’s also the home of Devonshire clotted cream, a key element of the cream tea. So whether exploring the National Parks, historic cities such as Exeter and Bath, World Heritage sites like Stonehenge or sunbathing on the beaches of Devon and Cornwall, make time to savour freshly baked scones, homemade clotted cream, local jams and a pot of loose leaf tea.

Fantastic Gift

A gift for my elderly mother and her best friend - they were treated very well and the afternoon tea was delicious. As they could not eat all of the food they were given a doggy bag of cakes. Thank you to the staff for looking after them both so well.

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.
