There is nothing more classically British than afternoon tea. In fact, the UK has consumed more tea than most countries around the world, with a love for the drink that not only dates back centuries, but has got more popular over time.

National Tea Day takes place on Thursday April 21 in the UK so why not grab a cuppa right here in the Welwyn Hatfield area at some of these venues:

  • Tewin Bury Farm Hotel in Welwyn Garden City is one of the nicest places to get afternoon tea. The hotel has a great tea menu, including a super ‘free from’ menu that caters to a wide variety of dietary requirements. Find out more at https://afternoonteaonline.co.uk/book/tewin-bury-farm-hotel/
