Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Rye

Excellent meal in Christmassy surroundings. Attentive staff who were very apologetic over a delayed dessert due to technical difficulties in the kitchen. We would definitely recommend them and plan to return (regularly!).

This was my first but not last visit. It was Nutcracker themed afternoon tea. All tables were in themed booths, the deco was outstanding (says the art student) and gave a really great feel. Food was plentiful and really imaginative (think pigs in blanket hot dog in brioche canapé) and good quality. Music obvs was Nutcracker (think Dad would’ve ben disappointed not ELP) and loads of Xmas favs. Just a truly brilliant experience

This is the second year running that my friend and I have been to the Fancy Fox for our Christmas afternoon tea. The venue is beautiful and is especially magical at Christmas. The food is absolutely fantastic and they were brilliant at catering for vegetarians/food allergies. The service can't be faulted and I would say that overall it is great value for money. Infact, there was so much food that we both had to take home leftovers.

Absolutely lovely afternoon tea in a beautiful setting. The Christmas decorations are beautiful and the panelled lounge is a delightful setting for an elegant afternoon tea. Would highly recommend.

Staff were lovely and friendly. Food was freshly made and very tasty. The only downside was the price of the drinks but it was a hotel so expected this.
