Festive Afternoon Tea
Do you fancy a festive treat? The Esplanade Hotel in Newquay, Cornwall, is serving up a delightful afternoon tea brimming with treats for the whole family. Serving from 12pm – 4pm daily (except Sundays) the festive afternoon tea is a treat to behold.
What treat will you choose?
Head to the Esplanade along the North Cornwall Coast this yuletide season and celebrate with food. The festive afternoon tea is brimming with treats everyone will enjoy. Start with the delectable finger sandwiches, move onto the classic scone and dine on delicious cakes – all of which include flavours inspired by the season.
Tuck into turkey and cranberry, cheese and chutney or smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwichs. Move onto scones with strawberry jam and a decadent clotted brandy cream before reaching the final tier to savour chocolate cheesecake, mince pies and a Christmas tree cake!
Fun for little ones
Newquay’s family friendly hotel The Esplanade is perfect for all ages and the Festive Afternoon Tea also comes child size so little ones can enjoy their own Christmas tea party. The children’s afternoon tea includes all the same flare with tiers of exciting treats and more palatable flavours for youngsters.

Dec the halls

Get a pic of the little ones or the whole family in front of the tree and make memories together by the sea this Christmas in Cornwall.
