Award Winning Afternoon Tea in Norwich

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

Ah, Norwich! A charming city nestled in the heart of Norfolk, where the offering of afternoon tea is just as delightful as its historical setting. The city provides visitors and locals alike a myriad of exquisite establishments where one can indulge in this quintessentially British tradition. Walking through Norwich's cobbled streets, you'll stumble upon several tea rooms and cafes that are devoted to serving sumptuous afternoon teas. A true gem of the city is *The Assembly House*, a Georgian Grade I listed venue set within enchanting grounds that oozes both elegance and charm. Their afternoon tea is a decadent affair featuring delicate pastries, finger sandwiches, and, of course, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam. There is something truly joyous about sipping tea from fine china under its ornate ceilings while soaking in the grand surroundings. For a delightful and more intimate experience, *Biddy's Tea Room* in Norwich Lanes offers a distinctly vintage vibe. This cosy spot, adorned with retro decor and mismatched furniture, has become a favourite haunt for tea lovers on the lookout for a delicious yet relaxed afternoon tea. Their well-curated loose-leaf teas pair wonderfully with homemade cakes and desserts, crafted with love and care. If you're after a more contemporary take on afternoon tea, *Grosvenor Fish Bar* offers an unconventional twist with their "fish and chips" afternoon tea—a quirky spin that adds a savoury edge to the traditional treat. Whether you are after an opulent affair or a more homely experience, Norwich is certainly a city that honours the delight and ritual of afternoon tea in all its variety.
