Afternoon tea at Warwick Castle's Conservatory Tea House is priced at £35 per person for the tea itself, available daily between 12–2 PM. A combined package including castle admission and afternoon tea is available for £59 per person. The experience features traditional sandwiches, scones, and tea, with options for Prosecco upgrades.
Afternoon Tea at many places is charged by the amount of people you book. So if you book two people during afternoon tea service you will pay per person. This is obviously how they make money.
Wizard Afternoon Tea® Tickets include: magic wand and equipment rental, two interactive teas that you brew, scone and a curated selection of sandwitches, and desserts, and the 1hr 45min interactive experience.
There are several outdoor picnic areas where your group can eat. Please place all litter in the rubbish bins provided throughout the grounds. With the exception of the restaurants, food or drink is not allowed in any indoor area of the Castle.
Don't put your napkin on your plate and don't put your napkin on your chair. Remember to stay as quiet as possible while enjoying afternoon tea. This means you should take small sips and small bites of food. You should never chug your tea or swig your tea back.
Usually consisting of a selection of teas, freshly prepared finger sandwiches, scones, cakes and pastries with all the trimmings, a light Afternoon Tea should allow for 4 sandwiches, 2 scones and 2 cakes (of different varieties) per person.
Yes, you can wear nice jeans to many afternoon teas, especially if the venue is modern or casual, fitting a "smart casual" dress code, but it depends heavily on the location; avoid ripped or overly casual denim and always check the venue's specific guidelines, as luxury hotels like The Ritz often prohibit jeans for a stricter, more formal vibe. For a safer bet, pair dark, tailored jeans with a nice blouse, blazer (for women), or collared shirt (for men), but be prepared to dress up more for opulent spots.
Most establishments will bring unlimited refills of tea and usually about as much food as you can eat. If your server doesn't offer additional scones or sandwiches, just ask.
Not all venues offer unlimited sandwiches, or indeed other elements of the afternoon tea, but you would be offered more if that is what the venue does. Is it cream or jam first? I say that it is personal preference but traditionally in Cornwall the jam would go on first followed by the cream.
Tea for two at Cliveden – for £550. Von Essen's Cliveden hotel has launched what it believes is the world's most expensive afternoon tea - at a price tag of £550 per couple.
What are the three main foods served at an afternoon tea?
The three main food groups at a traditional afternoon tea are delicate finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and jam, and a selection of sweet pastries and cakes, all served with tea, typically presented on a tiered stand.
What is the first thing you do when served the tea?
To serve the tea, generally the milk (due to denaturing of milk proteins when hot water is added) and sugar go in first. The person serving, which is considered an honor, serves the tea to the guests first and him or herself last.
“Never squeeze your teabags, as this can make your tea taste bitter due to the release of tannic acids,” explains Angela Pryce, senior tea buyer at Whittard. “Instead lift it out carefully after 3-5 minutes of brewing.” Our expert Dr Bond says five minutes is the optimum time to let your tea brew.

You can find free fun in Warwick by exploring historic streets like Smith Street, enjoying nature in St Nicholas Park with playgrounds and riverside walks (boating costs extra), visiting the Warwickshire Yeomanry Museum for military history (often free), admiring statues like Randolph Turpin, and walking the beautiful Avon Aqueduct for stunning views.
