Is there anything more charming than a sparkling afternoon tea? Finger sandwiches, elegant white linen and tiers of cakes, afternoon tea is a beloved British tradition. Steeped in history, we have the Duchess of Bedford (Queen Victoria’s lady in waiting) to thank this ever-so English affair. As dining later in the evening became a fashionable trend, it was designed to satisfy hunger pangs during longer afternoons. Full of nostalgia, it has evolved into a deliciously decadent treat, with English sparkling wine considered a must-have addition to the modern afternoon tea experience.
Check out our favourite spots across Sussex and Surrey to celebrate the ever-so English tradition of sparkling afternoon tea.
