Festive Afternoon Tea

October 1, 2025 | News

Kick off the Christmas season with a decadent festive afternoon tea on the cosy Cornish coast. Watch the waves roll in across Castle Beach as you tuck into three tiers of afternoon treats inspired by the season. Our festive afternoon tea is served throughout December, from 2pm until 5pm.

Our talented team of chefs have crafted a delightful selection of festive treats, blending the traditional flavours of Christmas with a touch of seaside inspiration. For £23 per person, indulge in a medley of savoury sandwiches and mini sweet treats, washed down with a cup of warming tea or coffee and a glass of mulled wine, to get you into the spirit of things. To make your experience even more memorable, enjoy bottomless sparkling wine throughout your two-hour sitting, for £56 per person.

With views that stretch across the horizon and the gentle sound of waves lapping against the shore, our Castle View restaurant offers a cosy ambiance to enjoy your Christmas afternoon tea. Bask in the warm glow of twinkling fairy lights and beautifully decorated trees adding to the seasonal charm. Whether you’re treating yourself or gifting a loved one*, this indulgent experience promises to create lasting memories and new traditions.

Available throughout December, our festive afternoon tea is the perfect way to celebrate the holidays.
