You’ll find afternoon tea is something taken quite seriously in East Yorkshire, it’s one of life’s simple pleasures that can be experienced in spectacular surroundings at a grand house or in a quintessentially English award-winning tearoom. From high tea on the East Yorkshire coast and in quaint market towns, to lavish afternoon teas in stunning countryside settings, you just need to find your favourite. Cream or jam first on those fluffy freshly baked scones? Does there need to be a right way to do things? Either way is perfectly acceptable in East Yorkshire and it all tastes delicious.
What's included in afternoon tea?
Afternoon tea is a truly indulgent experience, offering a variety of treats designed to be savoured slowly while enjoying tea. Graze your way through an assortment of delicate sandwiches, scones, cakes, and, of course, a selection of fine teas. Many venues also offer the option to add a glass of fizz too.
Make it a day out!
If you are looking to make the most of your day, why not choose to have your afternoon tea somewhere with a little something extra. Head to Eastfield Garden Centre, enjoy your tea in the calm Potting Shed Restaurant and once you have finished, meander through the plethora of trinkets, gifts, locally sourced product, plants and gardening supplies. Alternatively, arrive early to meet the small selection of animals in the 'pig pen' at Marton Manor Farm Shop and Tearooms.
The perfect gift idea

Whether you're celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, or simply want to treat your nearest and dearest, enjoying an afternoon tea together is the perfect way to enjoy quality time with friends and family in a beautiful setting.
One of the best ways to gift afternoon tea is through a voucher. Many of East Yorkshire's hotels, tea rooms, and restaurants offer gift vouchers, which give the recipient the flexibility to choose a time that suits them best.
