You’d expect an island famous for its dairy produce to serve up a mouth-watering and memorable afternoon tea, complete with buttery scones and lashings of cream. Jersey doesn’t disappoint. Here you find plenty of traditional afternoon tea trays brimming with local produce, all served with beautiful island backdrops.
Will you choose to take your tea with a cube of countryside charm or a spoonful of stunning sea views?
Tea time in the countryside.
If you’re opting for a cosy tea in the country then be sure to check out the stunning 17th century Greenhills Country House Hotel. Taking tea at Greenhills is a trip through time when ladies spent affable afternoons sipping tea, enjoying dainty sandwiches, cakes and fancies. Whether you chose to enjoy afternoon tea in the comfortable lounge or al fresco in the hotel’s beautifully designed garden, you’ll enjoy a deliciously decadent time at this country retreat.
Another superb countryside choice is La Mare Wine Estate, where you can relax and enjoy an al fresco afternoon tea overlooking the vines. The delicious La Mare Afternoon Tea is a firm favourite made using the finest award-winning, home-made produce including Jersey Black Butter chutney, or the Estate’s own delicious strawberry jam.
A peaceful and luxurious setting, exceptional service, the best homemade cakes, freshly cut finger sandwiches and a huge selection of teas make Longueville Manor, a lovingly restored Jersey Manor House, a firm favourite for a sumptuous afternoon tea. Enjoy afternoon tea by the pool when the sun shines, or alongside a roaring fire when the weather’s not so kind.
