Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Lympne

An amazing experience! The food was gorgeous and the decor was insane! What a fabulous way to begin the festive celebrations. The Sugar Plum Fairy would have approved! Best food was the Stilton and Cranberry muffin followed by the Raspberry Ripple mousse. No way we were going to have room for it all but the carry home box was exquisite in itself. Thank you for a truly unforgettable afternoon. We will be back for the Regency in January!

The quality of the food was excellent. A good selection of sandwiches and cakes. Excellent scones. Quantity of jam and cream was not enough for 4 scones. We were not advised about the different teas available, despite the menu stating that there was a selection. My husband asked for decaf coffee but thinks he was served regular as he experienced increased pulse rate. The ambience of the tea room was lacking as it was very quiet. Very different experience to a London hotel but the price was very good.

We went to Gardenia for dinner as part of a package hotel deal and it was excellent value. The staff were very warm, friendly and informative and we had a lovely meal in a lovely setting.

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.
