Afternoon tea in Wales

Wales is often described as a magical land where myths and legends blend, often seamlessly, with thousands of years of unique culture and heritage. It’s hardly surprising that the lines are sometimes blurred, given the inspiring nature of landscapes,

ranging from the undulating peaks of Snowdonia to the heathery romance of the Brecon Beacons; many parts of the country have been left completely unspoiled and it’s easy to imagine characters from stories told long ago. In such an atmospheric and historic region, it’s only fitting to celebrate age-old culinary traditions too, by enjoying a delicious afternoon tea for two. With a range of welcoming hotels in city and country, wherever visitors choose to take afternoon tea in Wales, they’re guaranteed inspiring views and a hospitable welcome alongside their scones, cakes and sandwiches and pot of 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.

Wonderful Gift

Really enjoyed the afternoon tea at the Slug and Lettuce on Sunday. The service was excellent, the food was great; being a vegetarian was not an issue at all. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Couldn't ask for more. Thank you

Best Christmas Gift

I was given a gift card for afternoon tea at Ty Newydd in Brecon. I called to reserve a d they took note of my reference number. I told them about my white flour intolerance which they noted saying it wouldn't be a problem. They called me the day before offering me an alternative as they wouldn't be able to avoid white flour and so I chose the Ploughman's lunch My friend had the afternoon tea which was amazing as was my Ploughman's lunch , they then came around with top ups and a plate of luscious fruit for me ?? Thnen just as we were getting really stuck in thet brought over 2 glasses of prosecco. Oh my gosh we came on the sunniest of days too and the place and grounds were lovely ?? I maybe back to sample their Sunday lunch soon xx thanks to my wonderful neighbours for gifting it to me xx

Lovely afternoon tea

Staff all very welcoming and showed us through to the bar where they served afternoon tea. The area doesnt have the same ambiance as the rest of the hotel but that was made up for by with prosecco and delicious items on the afternoon tea platters. Several warm savoury items; sausage rolls etc - all home made. Selection of sandwiches; egg, ham, cucumber and cream cheese, tuna Scones with clotted cream and jam accompanied by a small chocolate swiss roll a s lemon tart. All very tasty
