There is nothing quite so English than taking Afternoon Tea.

Here at the Hythe Imperial we like to honour this tradition by offering over 10 selections of tea, finely cut sandwiches, delicate pastries and freshly baked scones with clotted cream.
Combine the atmosphere with a great selection of Afternoon Teas to choose from to make an unforgettable afternoon by the Sea.

Please note that outside dining under our gazebos can only be arranged over the phone as spaces are limited.

Please note that we require a non-refundable deposit of £15pp for tables of 4 and above.

    The food was good and we received our champagne promptly. Unfortunately they completely overlooked giving us the pots of tea and we had to ask for them along with another table in the room. The room had no atmosphere as no music was playing and the room was not full.

    We were a little sceptical at first because we had read a few bad reviews. But this was completely unfounded. Everything was perfect. From the friendly staff to the delicious food. Simply fantastic!

    The afternoon tea was incredibly yummy. All the sandwiches and the scones were fresh but sadly the cakes really let it down. The banana bread was dry as was the shortbread and blondie. For some reason every time I make a booking even if I don't state it I'm labelled with a Strawberry allergy. No idea why as I don't have one. I booked a family gathering about 5 years ago and my Auntie came and she does have an allergy to Strawberries but every time i ask for it to be removed it just keeps being re added.

    We were given a gift voucher for afternoon tea at The Hythe Imperial. The room is a bit soulless and the waitress put music on which was a bit intrusive. Service at first was good but then our waitress just disappeared. Our finger sandwiches were already a little dry on serving, the scones were o.k. but the miniature cakes were not nice at all. Strange taste and texture. Nice to have bottomless coffee/tea if there was a waitress. I ordered a glass of wine which was lovely but at over £11 a glass it should have been. So all in all disappointing.
