There is no more delightful and quintessentially British institution than afternoon tea and nowhere better to enjoy it than Jesmond Dene House. The ritual of tea served in fine bone china and three tiered stands overflowing with cakes, dainty finger sandwiches and our signature freshly baked, still warm scones. Staff glide through the rooms, music plays quietly in the background, whilst a mix of guests – from ladies in smart dresses, to overseas tourists visiting Hadrian’s Wall and local families celebrating their Grandmother’s birthday  – all enjoy a traditional afternoon tea.

Prices from £29.50pp

Because our little guests are just as important, we also serve a Children’s afternoon tea, which includes a selection of sandwiches, scones and cakes with refillable fresh juices. Perfect for school holidays, a family treat or birthday celebration.

£16.50pp
