A guide to the best afternoon tea in Birmingham

The city of Birmingham and the wider West Midlands offer plenty of choice for a short break or day of leisure. Birmingham has a vibrant culture, rich heritage and contemporary buzz, while the surrounding area features interesting towns, lovely countryside, grand historic properties, and great golf courses. Why not take your time in this diverse region to another level with a relaxing spa experience combined with an elegant afternoon tea?

 

The classic afternoon tea is a sumptuous spread that comprises a tasty selection of finger sandwiches, sweet treats and, of course, scones with plenty of cream and jam, accompanied by a pot of tea. You can also opt for a sparkling afternoon tea, which includes a glass of chilled bubbly. Many venues now put their own slant on the traditional afternoon tea, with more creative savoury and sweet options, or a wider choice of beverages, such as herbal teas or even a decadent cocktail.
