Afternoon tea reviews in South Wales
Update April 2023- Unfortunately Tea Leaf is no longer trading. If like me you have been craving afternoon tea during Covid lockdown and restrictions, delivery afternoon tea services have been filling the gap for the perfect treat and break from cooking. I have tried making my own afternoon tea a few times since lockdown but... Continue Reading →

The Hilton Cardiff is always a fab place for a nice sophisticated meal or bottomless brunch (maybe less sophisticated depending on how much you drink). Afternoon tea at the Grey Restaurant is also the perfect way to spend an afternoon. Good views of Cardiff Castle and a good spot for spotting rugby players during the... Continue Reading →
Llanerch Vineyard is a romantic venue in Hensol. It's nice to escape to the 'country' even though its only 2 mins from the M4. I have been before for a wedding and an afternoon tea hen party. They have also recently opened a hotel, which looks very swish. We visited in January so it was... Continue Reading →

It was the week before Christmas and a festive afternoon tea was needed to get me in the festive mood. I had seen the Vale Resort had advertised their festive tea on Facebook so I thought I would give it a try. It was a week day, but there was only one other table dining... Continue Reading →
I visited Brød in mid November with my sister and mum for an Afternoon Hygge Tea. Christmas had already landed at Brød and we loved the festive decorations. It is a warm and inviting venue located in Pontcanna. I loved the rolling pin wall and the festive corner. There was even a Brød gingerbread house... Continue Reading →
My first themed afternoon tea was at the Angel Bar and Grill in Hendredenny, Caerphilly.

The venue was smartly decorated and our table was set up with Mrs Potts... Continue Reading →
I loved this place! I visited Barker Tea House in High Street Arcade on a busy Saturday afternoon! I could tell this place was going to be special as soon as I walked in.

I came across Gellihaf House from trawling through Instagram and I started following them through their renovations. Gellihaf House is a family run boutique B&B that has been beautifully restored by its new owners. When I saw they had started serving afternoon tea, I thought I better go check it out. This is the first... Continue Reading →
The Celtic Manor was running a promotion for 20% off gift vouchers so this was the perfect opportunity to go for afternoon tea. I have never been to the Celtic Manor and I have heard mixed reviews.

My sister and I took our mum out for a late mothers day afternoon tea on a Friday afternoon. We didn't tell her where we were going, so when we arrived in the Dominions Arcade she was rather confused. I was surprised to find a hotel in the arcade, I haven't been there for a... Continue Reading →

A Saturday visit to The Orchard in Radyr seemed like a popular place to be. The cafe was busy and bustling. The cafe is nicely presented with some vintage styles but with modern touches too. Lovely chandelier here too. As it was busy, I did find it was quite noisy as there were lots of people... Continue Reading →
