Award Winning Afternoon Tea in Powys

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 Powys is also likely to provide some of the best afternoon tea in Powys! 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 heart of mid-Wales, Powys offers both stunning landscapes and the delightful tradition of afternoon tea, making it a perfect destination for those who cherish this quintessentially British experience.

With its rich history dating back centuries, the venue provides a classic and refined backdrop to enjoy a leisurely tea, where the ambience is just as inviting as the offerings themselves.

Its idyllic setting by a tranquil lake provides a peaceful escape, perfect for a laid-back afternoon tea after a countryside walk. Their traditional tea service is often accompanied by the finest loose-leaf teas and locally sourced ingredients.
