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.

Lovely cream tea and guided tour

I was in two minds about booking this for my mother having read some of the reviews. However I'm so glad I did. The owner and her cousin were so friendly, helpful and welcoming. The scones were home made and absolutely delicious, with plenty of cream and ham. The tour was about 1.5 to 1.75 hours, there were plenty of places for my mother sit on the way around. John was very knowledgeable and engaging. We both had aively time, thank you.

An Interesting Twist on a British Classic

Took the plunge and upgraded our Red Letter Gift to sample the Harry Ramsden Afternoon Tea experience. It was very good and well worth the visit. The Fish n Chip themed food was expectational, and plentiful and the serving staff made it a very good experience overall.

Lovely Afternoon Tea

We were gifted a champagne afternoon tea and although we had difficulty getting through on the phone to the Hyll Hotel, Charingworth, Chipping Campden (formerly Charingworth Manor), but we were able to book in on line without any problems and realise the phone issue may have been something to do with the recent renovation work? On our arrival we were greeted at reception by a lovely young lady who took us through to the dining area which appears to have been recently updated but is very tastefully decorated, tables are not too close together and chairs very comfortable. We apologised, as we had forgotten to bring the gift voucher (realised as we were parking the car!) but they were able to find the reference number from the original booking and nothing seemed too much trouble. The afternoon tea was absolutely delicious albeit very filling. The young gentleman who served us, offered to box up the remaining cakes and, although unexpected and not something we often do, we didn’t want to miss out on the delicious looking cakes, so gratefully accepted - he was very attentive without being invasive and at the end of our tea, he chatted with us for a while and we must commend him on his professionalism and politeness throughout the afternoon. We enjoyed the tea so much, we intend to return to have a Sunday lunch or dinner as we are sure the chef won’t disappoint. We would highly recommend a visit and our compliments to all the staff we met and we look forward to our return visit.
