Afternoon Tea in West Sussex

A traditional comforting treat to be enjoyed - afternoon tea in Sussex sitting in a bay window with spring sunshine streaming through, relaxing outside on a blazing summer's day, overlooking the display of autumn colours, or snuggled deep in a sofa by a roaring log fire in the depths of winter. South Lodge Hotel offers a delicious country house tea in every season.


Afternoon Tea at South Lodge Hotel, SussexA treat awaits...

The lounges and terraces, weather permitting, at South Lodge Hotel in West Sussex, are the perfect spot for relaxing with afternoon tea in Horsham.

 

Anna, 7th Duchess of Bedford, is reputed to have introduced the tradition of taking Afternoon Tea in the early 1840’s to appease her appetite in the long hours between an early lunch and a late supper.  From her boudoir she sent to the kitchen for a pot of water, bread and butter and cakes; she would brew her own tea.  Anna is said to have shared the idea with friends and by the end of the decade Afternoon Tea had become a widespread social event.

Here at South Lodge Hotel we are delighted to continue the tradition.  Serving freshly cut sandwiches, homemade scones with preserves and clotted cream, a range of cakes and pastries with a wide selection of teas,

Afternoon tea in Sussex is an indulgent treat like no other!
