Hampshire, with its rolling countryside and historic towns, is a particularly decadent spot for this quintessential British tradition. In the heart of Winchester, The Ivy Winchester Brasserie offers a sumptuous afternoon tea set against a backdrop of elegant, timeless decor.

The Royal Hotel in Ventnor, a stone's throw from the scenic coastline, is famed for its traditional afternoon tea served in a beautiful English garden setting. Here, you can expect delectable treats using locally sourced ingredients, often inspired by the changing seasons. Along the shores of Cowes, one might indulge at The George Hotel with a delightful tea spread served alongside stunning views of the Solent. Whether enjoying a clifftop terrace or a cosy tearoom, the Isle of Wight blends the serenity of the sea with the serenity of a well-crafted tea experience.
