Award Winning Afternoon Tea in The Broads Authority

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 The Broads Authority is also likely to provide some of the best afternoon tea in The Broads Authority! 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 serene beauty of the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, the Broads Authority area offers not only scenic waterways and tranquil landscapes but also a range of delightful spots for afternoon tea. As one meanders through this region, stopping for afternoon tea is an essential part of the quintessential countryside experience. Tea lovers will delight in the charming cafes and tearooms dotted around the villages and market towns near the Broads, where freshly baked scones, clotted cream, and delicate sandwiches await. With such tranquillity surrounding you, it is the perfect setting for enjoying a leisurely tea with friends or family. One venue famously known for its splendid afternoon tea is The Assembly House in Norwich, located just a short drive away from the Broads. This majestic Georgian building provides an exquisite atmosphere for indulging in a luxurious afternoon tea, including a selection of hand-crafted sweets and savouries. Another nearby gem is the historic Alexandra's Restaurant in the picturesque market town of Acle, offering a more intimate yet equally delightful tea experience. Both locations are ideal for those seeking respite after a day of exploring the winding waterways, where you can relax and sip your tea while enjoying the serene countryside views.
