The proportion of those restaurants that offer afternoon tea will be even lower than this.

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 Oxford is also likely to provide some of the best afternoon tea in Oxford! 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 Folly currently holds 1 AA Rosette.
