Afternoon Tea in Cheshire

Afternoon Tea at
the Abbey

Indulge in a quintessentially British afternoon tea, served in our beautifully restored Abbey overlooking the Cheshire countryside.

Book Afternoon Tea
A Cheshire Tradition

An indulgent afternoon, beautifully served

There’s something special about afternoon tea at Vale Royal Abbey. Celebrating a birthday, treating someone you love, or just after a quiet afternoon away from the everyday? We’ll make it a memorable one.

Finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, and a selection of cakes and pastries, served on traditional tiered stands with a choice of teas or coffee.

Tables overlook the golf course and the wider Cheshire countryside, so the view is as good as the menu. There is a savoury option as well as the classic, and a drinks upgrade if you fancy making more of an occasion of it.
