Award Winning Afternoon Tea in The West Midlands

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 West Midlands is also likely to provide some of the best afternoon tea in The West Midlands! 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 England, the West Midlands offers a delightful variety of afternoon tea experiences. As a devoted tea aficionado, visiting this region is nothing short of a treat, with plush lounges and traditional establishments serving up that quintessential British meal. Indulging in a spread of delicate sandwiches, fluffy scones, and exquisite pastries feels particularly fitting amidst the county's stately homes and charming tearooms. Birmingham, at the heart of the West Midlands, boasts several spots that provide a classic afternoon tea—a highlight being Harvey Nichols' luxury offering at the Mailbox, where diners can savour delightful treats paired with exquisite speciality teas against a chic backdrop. For something a tad more quaint, Moor Hall Hotel and Spa, located north of Birmingham in Sutton Coldfield, provides an idyllic setting for an elegant afternoon tea experience. The hotel's peaceful gardens and classically furnished surroundings add to the sense of occasion that afternoon tea should bring. Venture a little further into Warwickshire and you will find Coombe Abbey near Coventry, where the historic atmosphere adds a special charm to one's teatime experience. There is great joy in the ceremony of traditional tea—whether served in an ornate castle setting or a cosy urban cafe, the West Midlands offers ample options to enjoy this lovely English pastime.
