Gloucestershire &amp; Worcestershire

It’s decadent, delicious, better value than lunch and involves a LOT of cake. What’s not to like about afternoon tea? Here are some of the best places in our two fabulous counties to celebrate National Afternoon Tea Week (9-15 Aug). But let’s be honest, we’re here for it any week of the year. Shall I pour?

We love this twist on a delicious afternoon tea. Enjoy a sumptuous feast in the beautiful setting of Burleigh Court hotel &#8211; Muddy Glos Worc&#8217;s Boutique Hotel of 2021! Tucked away in a peaceful haven with stunning views over the rolling Golden Valley, afternoon tea is served up Weds to Sat from 3pm to 5pm, but make sure to book in advance. What&#8217;s on the menu crafted by Burleigh&#8217;s brilliant head chef? A meaty feast of sausage rolls, scotch eggs, and charcuterie followed by freshly baked scones (fruit and plain) with clotted cream, homemade jam and a selection of cakes. Plus there&#8217;s a fabulous vegetarian option for any non-meat eaters out there.
