Afternoon Tea

Devon's cream teas are world famous, and you can enjoy some of the very best in Exeter. 

Eat on the Green in Cathedral Close is an independent cafe serving afternoon tea in its 16th century building overlooking Exeter's magnificent Cathedral, or indulge yourself with a unforgettable afternoon tea experience at The Ivy Exeter!

Wear Park Restaurant also offers a prosecco afternoon tea in the Georgian manor house overlooking the golf course at Exeter Golf & Country Club - on sunny days dine alfresco on the veranda or terrace. 

Enjoy afternoon tea in the elegant yet relaxed surroundings of Hotel du Vin. The Mercure Southgate and Rougemont hotels also serve a delicious afternoon tea in their restaurants.

On a sunny day you can't beat a relaxed afternoon tea beside the river on Exeter Quayside. Grab some sweet treats to enjoy beside the Exeter Canal Basin from the Boatyard Bakery, or head over to the Riverside Café at the Exeter Quay Antiques Centre for a delicious cream tea with outdoor seating. 

How about a beautiful view of the lily and swan lake with your cream tea? Canonteign Kitchen serves homemade food which champions local produce, including their delicious Devon cream teas and even a scone of the week to enjoy either indoors or outdoors.

If you like your afternoon tea with a helping of beautiful scenery, head out to the Kitchen at The Donkey Sanctuary near Sidmouth, where you can enjoy views out to the donkeys and the sea, or join a Stuart Line Cream Tea Cruise for panoramic views of the River Exe Estuary!
