The best afternoon tea in West Sussex
An English tradition that stands the test of time
A proper English afternoon tea is a ritual in its own right. With elegant bone china, perhaps tea brewed in a teapot, and the most delicate of cakes, pastries and sweet treats, this is a ceremonial affair. Hotels, cafes and restaurants across Sussex apply their skill and creativity to make the experience one to remember. Whether you're celebrating, indulging or adding the cherry on top to a West Sussex escape, there's a huge variety of locations to enjoy this tradition, from city centre settings to country houses or coastal locations.
