Award Winning Afternoon Tea in Hampshire and Isle of Wight

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 Hampshire and Isle of Wight is also likely to provide some of the best afternoon tea in Hampshire and Isle of Wight! 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.

Nestled in the picturesque southern region of England, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight are charming destinations for lovers of afternoon tea. 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. For something a bit more countryside, the Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire provides a luxurious experience in a grand Georgian manor, with an expansive selection of delicate pastries, finger sandwiches, and freshly baked scones served with clotted cream and preserves. As you sip on fine teas from around the world, you can gaze out over the lush 500-acre estate, making it a perfect afternoon retreat. The Isle of Wight, renowned for its coastal beauty and slower pace of life, also brings its own unique charm to the art of afternoon tea. 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.
