Award Winning Afternoon Tea in The Channel Islands

Please note, leading restaurant guides issue awards to restaurants based on dining from a full menu and will not normally consider afternoon tea when deciding how highly to rate a restaurant. Therefore the above restaurants are not ranked, although it's a safe bet that any restaurant serving award winning food in The Channel Islands is also likely to provide some of the best afternoon tea in The Channel Islands! Please also note that for the restaurants listed above, afternoon tea may be offered within the parent hotel/venue the restaurant resides in, rather than in the restaurant itself.

The Channel Islands, nestled gracefully in the English Channel just off the coast of France, are a hidden gem for those who adore a traditional afternoon tea. Among the islands, Jersey and Guernsey stand out not only for their scenic beauty but also for charming tea rooms that serve some of the finest afternoon teas you could hope to find. The islands' rich British heritage and French influence combine to create a unique twist on this quintessential tradition. Whether you are enjoying your tea with a view of serene coastlines or nestled in the quaint towns, the experience here is both charming and refreshingly genuine. One cannot speak of afternoon tea on Jersey without mentioning the delightful offerings at Longueville Manor. A quintessential country house, it provides an elegant and refined afternoon tea experience with freshly baked scones, delicate finger sandwiches, and an array of locally sourced produce. On Guernsey, the Old Government House Hotel & Spa is another must-visit for afternoon tea aficionados. From the flower-filled terraces to the beautifully arranged tea selections, you'll be treated to a sumptuous spread that includes fine pastries, paired excellently with teas sourced from around the world. Whichever island you find yourself on, the afternoon tea experience in the Channel Islands is a perfect blend of British tradition and the islands' own unique flavours, making it an utterly unmissable experience.
