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.

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 .

Exceeded expectations

We spent a lovely few hours at the wonderful venue and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tea. The manor has been tastefully decorated and had a cosy and intimate ambience. The food was delicious. We were delighted with the selection of savoury items which were interesting and tasty and a welcome change from sandwiches. The scones were wonderfully light and irresistible with the clotted cream and jam. The other sweet items were equally delicious and we found it impossible not to eat everything provided. Tea and coffee was plentiful and staff very pleasant and attentive.
