Award Winning Afternoon Tea in Staffordshire

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 Staffordshire is also likely to provide some of the best afternoon tea in Staffordshire! 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, Staffordshire, such a charming corner of England! Tucked between the Midlands and the Peak District, this delightful county offers much more than its picturesque views and rich history. For the lover of afternoon tea, Staffordshire is a veritable treasure trove. One could spend a most splendid afternoon sampling delicate finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream, and cakes presented with flair in venues steeped in tradition. One mustn't miss The World of Wedgwood Tea Room, located in the heart of the famed Wedgwood factory near Stoke-on-Trent. Here, the finely crafted Wedgwood china collection adds a special something to the experience, making each sip of tea feel like a journey back to a more genteel time. Their afternoon tea menu is a perfect blend of tradition and modernity, boasting delicacies like smoked salmon sandwiches and delightful macarons. For those wishing to venture further afield for a cosy yet elegant treat, the quaint surroundings of Hoar Cross Hall provide both relaxation and indulgence. This country house spa, located near Burton-upon-Trent, presents a perfectly poised afternoon tea experience. Set in grandiose but welcoming rooms, the tea presentation here is impeccable, with a tiered stand brimming with nibbles from fluffy scones to delectable cakes. What better way to complement the tranquility of the Staffordshire countryside than with a classic black tea blend or shimmering glass of bubbly amidst such refined surroundings? Whether you are seeking opulence or rustic charm, Staffordshire offers a delightful range of afternoon tea locations to suit any mood or craving.
