Traditional Afternoon Tea at the Hythe Imperial

There is nothing quite so quintessentially English as Afternoon Tea. At the Hythe Imperial Hotel, we celebrate this cherished tradition with a carefully curated selection of teas, finely crafted sandwiches, delicate pastries, and freshly baked scones served with clotted cream and preserves. With a range of Afternoon Tea options to choose from, and the charming seaside setting, it promises an unforgettable and indulgent experience.
