Afternoon Tea
Experience the English classic at this Cornish destination.
Jam first
Or second… we don't mind. All we want is for you to devour our delicious scones, served with clotted cream. We also prepare a range of tasty sandwiches, using local ingredients. Plus our chefs create a range of fresh pastries for you to enjoy.
We regularly change our afternoon tea menu to reflect the seasons and ingredients available. This gives you a great excuse to indulge repeatedly throughout the year.
Traditional or tipsy
Afternoon teas have evolved since 1840, when Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, decided that afternoons were shamefully foodless.
At Talland Bay, you can tuck into a moreish selection of fresh homemade cakes, sandwiches and scones. Alongside the food, we offer tea and coffee, as well as a crisp glass of bubbly or a G&T. This is your afternoon tea, for you to enjoy how you want.
Available until the 9th February, when our Valentine’s Afternoon Tea is in full swing until the 15th February, after which our traditional offering returns.
Please be aware a booking is required for afternoon tea, with a minimum of 24 hours notice so our chefs have time to prepare your delicious treats.
eASTEr afternoon tea
We looked at the traditional Easter spread - the foil-wrapped eggs, the hot cross buns, the obligatory chocolate rabbits - and we thought: we can do better than this. So we did.
We've taken Easter, wrapped it in pastry, dipped it in chocolate, sandwiched it in brioche and stacked the whole magnificent lot on a tiered stand with a sea view. There are Bunny Macarons. There’s a Chocolate Plant Pot Meadow. There’s a Mini Praline Namelaka Easter Egg that will make you question every Easter egg that came before it. And there is The Famous TBH Sausage Roll, because some things are non-negotiable.
It’s here from the 30th March to the 12th April, so hop to it; book a table, round up your favourite folk and tuck in.

We’re a bit in love with all the brilliant local people who supply our kitchen. They are the unsung heroes behind every delicious bite you take. The fishermen, farmers, cheesemongers, butchers and wine merchants all make the magic possible.
By sourcing most of our food locally, our food is fresh and tasty. Plus we are proud to support our neighbours, who are doing fantastic work.
