DID YOU KNOW?

Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, was a regular guest at The Royal and would often indulge in sandwiches, cakes and tea around 4pm, with her friends in the hotel’s beautiful gardens. This simple yet refined tradition would later evolve into what we now know as the quintessential afternoon tea, a custom now enjoyed across Britain and beyond.

Traditional English Cream Tea


In addition to our full afternoon tea offering, you can drop in for our Traditional English Cream Tea including freshly baked scones, home-made strawberry jam, clotted cream and a choice of artisan herbal or black teas. Or treat yourself to an afternoon pick-me-up with our special Cake o’Clock option: a slice of your favourite cake and barista-made coffee. These items are served 3-5pm, subject to availability on the day.


"It was our first visit to The Royal today. We enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea with the freshest of sandwiches and the most gorgeous cakes and scones. The staff were wonderful. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience, we will be back." - Shelley and Bob Wall
