An afternoon well spent...
From £47.00 per person
While away the afternoon with a choice of teas accompanied by a selection of finger sandwiches and homemade scones with clotted cream and New Forest jam. Then treat yourself to a selection of sweet treats, including choux buns, lemon tarts, chocolate mousse flowerpots and an almond friand with seasonal fruit. Pair up with a glass of fizz, G&T or a cup of Lime Wood blend; that’s an afternoon well spent.

Alternative Tea
From 1st December 2025, our afternoon tea offering will be simplified to two options: our Classic Afternoon Tea and our Vegetarian Afternoon Tea.
We’ve made this decision because the specialist ingredients and alternatives available just aren’t delicious enough, nor do they match the quality and taste of our Classic Afternoon Tea. We’d rather focus on what we can do exceptionally well than offer an experience that doesn’t meet the usual Lime Wood standards. We understand this may be disappointing and are grateful for your understanding as we continuously look for ways to improve and refine our offerings.
We will no longer be able to offer gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, or vegan afternoon tea for new bookings. Any existing bookings made before 1st December will be honoured. Requests for afternoon tea accommodating the other 14 recognised allergens (excluding gluten, dairy, or egg) will still be catered for.
We can also offer a range of alternative options which, while not afternoon tea, are equally delicious and thoughtfully prepared.
