Award Winning Afternoon Tea in Guernsey

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 Guernsey is also likely to provide some of the best afternoon tea in Guernsey! 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.

Guernsey, a charming gem nestled in the English Channel just off the coast of Normandy, offers more than just its stunning landscapes and rich history. For those who delight in the finer rituals of afternoon tea, Guernsey does not disappoint. Set against the backdrop of its quaint streets and sweeping coastal views, you can indulge in a truly memorable teatime experience. At Old Government House Hotel and Spa, one of the most distinguished locations on the island, you'll find a sumptuous afternoon tea. Here, traditional finger sandwiches, fresh scones with clotted cream and homemade preserves, and an array of delicate pastries are served up with tea sourced from some of the finest leaves, all in a refined and elegant setting. Another venue worth highlighting is The Duke of Richmond Hotel, where you can enjoy a lavish afternoon tea in an equally stunning environment. With a selection of freshly made delights, from warm scones to intricately-crafted cakes, it becomes a perfect companion to a restful afternoon. Many visitors choose to soak in the views of the harbour and twinkling sea, allowing those who cherish the calming ceremony of afternoon tea to truly unwind. Of course, Guernsey's selection of local confectioneries adds to the experience, giving guests a unique taste of Channel Island hospitality while upholding Britain's timeless tradition.
