Festive Afternoon Tea
If all you want for Christmas is a Festive Afternoon Tea, then we delivered!
Book your table in Cove Restaurant at The Esplanade overlooking the dramatic Fistral Beach and take in the sights of waves rolling in under wintry skies as you tuck in to a selection of savoury bites and sweet delights.
Start with a selection of sandwiches: festive turkey and cranberry, smoked salmon, and delicate cucumber. Then it’s time for the all-important cream tea of scones, jam and clotted cream. Cream first? Jam first? It’s your choice.
Topping the tier of tantalising treats is our adorable reindeer macaron with shiny red nose, a decadent chocolate opera cake made with layers of deliciousness, and a flavourful mince pie for that traditional touch.
Christmas is a time for celebrating with loved ones. Take a moment to enjoy a Festive Afternoon Tea in Newquay complete with added seaside charm at The Esplanade.
Enjoying a family day with little ones? Our indoor play area next to Cove Restaurant offers plenty to keep kids busy while grown ups relax with a warming drink taking in stunning coastal views at our Newquay hotel.
Visit us in Cornwall for Festive Afternoon Tea, available 3rd November 2025 to 4th January 2026. Served 12.30-4pm daily. £20 per Adult and £10.50 per Child.
