Afternoon Tea

Afternoon Tea at The Bath Priory

Step away from the bustle of Bath and discover one of the city’s most elegant afternoon tea experiences. Hidden within four acres of gardens, The Bath Priory offers a peaceful country house setting just moments from the historic city centre.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, catching up with friends or simply indulging after a day exploring Bath, our traditional Afternoon Tea combines refined surroundings, exceptional service and beautifully crafted seasonal treats.

A Timeless Tradition

Our Afternoon Tea

Served in our elegant restaurant, cosy lounges or, during warmer months, on the garden terrace, Afternoon Tea at The Bath Priory is a celebration of timeless British hospitality.

Delight in a carefully prepared selection of delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked homemade scones served with West Country clotted cream and preserves, and an exquisite assortment of handcrafted pastries and cakes. Accompanied by your choice of fine Newby teas or freshly brewed coffee, every element has been thoughtfully created to provide an unforgettable experience.

For an extra touch of indulgence, upgrade to our Laurent-Perrier Champagne Afternoon Tea and make the occasion truly memorable.

In The Heart Of Bath

A Garden Retreat

Unlike anywhere else in the city, The Bath Priory offers the tranquillity of an English country house whilst remaining just a short walk from Bath’s iconic attractions.

Enjoy Afternoon Tea overlooking beautifully landscaped gardens bursting with seasonal colour, or dine al fresco on the terrace surrounded by birdsong and fragrant borders. It’s an idyllic setting to relax, reconnect and savour the slower pace of the afternoon.

Whether you’re visiting Bath for the weekend or you’re a local looking for a luxurious escape, The Bath Priory provides the perfect backdrop.
