Eastwell Manor’s classic afternoon tea really taps into the traditional element of
this feast for the eyes and the taste buds. There are fresh cut mini sandwiches
and savouries, warm scones with homemade jam and scrumptious clotted cream,
and a variety of exquisite sweet treats too. Add to that a selection of speciality
teas and you really could ask for nothing more. More can be added, though, in
the form of bottomless Prosecco, or Chapel Down rosé wine. Cheers to that. Ruxley Manor, Sidcup

Treat yourself to an amazing afternoon tea in The Mulberry Tree Restaurant
at Ruxley Manor. The impressive selection of homemade treats are made from
scratch by Ruxley Manor's pastry chefs every day, and are delivered fresh to
your table for you to enjoy. Try a mouth-watering array of sandwiches, warm
scones served with Cornish clotted cream and strawberry preserve, followed by
delicious pastries and cakes.

For an afternoon tea with a twist, try the fabulous Secret Garden. Here you can
enjoy a traditional scones and cream afternoon tea, but you can also plump for
a chocolate afternoon tea complete with chocolate chip scones and hot chocolate
instead of tea or coffee. If you haven’t got a sweet tooth, there is an entirely
savoury tea that’ll be just right for your particular palate. Not only are the surroundings at the London Beach Hotel in Tenterden
magnificent, so is the afternoon tea provided there. You can choose from a light
snack version of scones (one plain, one fruit) with jam and cream, tea or coffee,
or a larger, more substantial variety that contains those same gorgeous, warm
scones plus finger sandwiches with fillings such as egg and cress or smoked salmon
and a variety of cakes too. Add a glass of English sparkling wine for a special
occasion, or simply just because.
