Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Denmead

We had an exceptional experience during our visit. The outside staff went above and beyond by assisting me as I arrived with my baby and two toddlers in tow. Their kindness and attentiveness made us feel very comfortable, and the entire staff exceeded our expectations. The afternoon tea was delightful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. There were a couple of other families with toddlers and babies as well. My own toddlers, aged 3 and 6, were seated throughout the meal. Once they finished eating, they were excited to see the Christmas tree outside and walked a little quickly in their excitement. Unfortunately, one of the other guests, an older gentleman, commented rudely, asking us to control the children. While we understand that shared spaces require mutual respect, we felt it was an unnecessary remark, as public places naturally involve a lively atmosphere. Despite this minor incident, the staff’s exceptional service and the lovely ambiance made our visit truly enjoyable. Definitely will visit again

We enjoyed our Xmas Eve lunch, service and ambience great, food was good, particularly the desserts - bit disappointed with my gluten free yorkshire puddings which were a bit dense and stodgy. I make them at home so I know they can be light and fluffy, however I was pleased to be offered them at all as many restaurants don’t. Drinks are a little more expensive here than you might expect but extensive choice. Overall experience was very good, love the location at the foot of the downs, and look forward to a return visit.

Excellent afternoon tea for Christmas/friends birthday combined. Great staff and service. Will be back.

Amazing food, beef Wellington was perfectly cooked pink enough to be tender without being bloody. Tasted wonderful. Crepe suzette was a blast from the past but cooked to perfection with lots of caramel. Staff we're very polite and very friendly

I had a very relaxing time. The food was unique and different from afternoon tea in other hotels. I really liked the scones here. They were crispy, small, easy to eat and the jam was delicious. I was also happy that they provided high chairs for my baby. The atmosphere is casual, perfect for visiting with my kids. It was full when I visited. Everyone enjoyed chatting so I didn't have to worry if my kids were a bit loud.
