MumsRate Afternoon Tea in Milton Keynes

Our Facebook group is a hive of activity daily and one of the most popular questions is “can you recommend a venue for a great afternoon tea?”

So here are our Top 10 ideas (in no particular order)

 

1. Afternoon tea at Chicheley Hall in Buckinghamshire
There is something timeless about taking afternoon tea in the historic setting of Chicheley Hall. Begin with an impressive selection of teas or perhaps start with a glass of prosecco to accompany our sumptuous 3 tier afternoon teas. Sandwiches are fresh, served finger sized with a range of British classic fillings; scones are freshly baked and accompanied by jam and lashings of clotted cream finished with a selection of delicious cakes. More information @ www.chicheleymiltonkeynes.co.uk. Afternoon tea must be pre-booked.

2. The Woburn Coffee House is a beautiful licensed boutique eatery specialising in Afternoon Tea nestled in the heart of the historic village of Woburn, Bedfordshire. Karen and her team offer a warm and friendly welcome to one of Woburn’s favourite boutique coffee houses. Opened in the Summer of 2012, The Woburn Coffee House has fast become a favourite with locals and visitors to Woburn. It is a fantastic meeting place for friends and family to celebrate those special occasions. Its elegant decor and romantic ambiance make it an ideal place to treat that someone special too; but most of all, it is a place where you can indulge in the most sumptuous Traditional and Celebration Afternoon Teas.”Choose from a beautiful range of carefully selected Champagnes and Fine Wines to accompany your Traditional Afternoon Teas, Celebration Afternoon Teas and Celebration Gâteaux. The beautiful Orangery can be enjoyed throughout the year and in the summer months, you can indulge in a Jug of Pimms or a Prosecco cocktail in the beautifully landscaped walled garden.”

Offering a great afternoon tea if you are looking for a smaller local venue with great service.”  See: www.facebook.com/mkcoffeeshop Highly recommended for dairy free and gluten free options too.

4. Afternoon tea at The Woburn Hotel

“The English social custom of taking Afternoon Tea was popularised in the 1840s by Duchess Anna Maria, wife of the 7th Duke of Bedford, who entertained her friends at Woburn Abbey. The Duchess is credited with popularising the custom of afternoon tea in the court of Queen Victoria. The Duchess and her friends would have enjoyed afternoon tea in the comfortable surroundings of the Abbey. Delicate finger sandwiches are accompanied by homemade scones served with clotted cream and fresh fruit preserves, complemented by a selection of tempting cakes and pastries.”
