Afternoon Tea in Cheltenham

Afternoon tea is a delightful and quintessentially British tradition that involves enjoying a selection of small bites and beverages in the late afternoon, typically between 3pm and 5pm. It's a chance to relax, socialize, and indulge in some delicious treats. Afternoon tea can be enjoyed any day of the week and makes any special occasion that little bit more special. 

Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavours and combinations to find what you like best. We have a couple surprises in our 'Afternoon Tea in Cheltenham' Article:
