Afternoon Tea Week 2022: 8 of the best places for afternoon tea in Bristol according to Tripadvisor reviews
As England celebrates Afternoon Tea Week, here’s some of the best places to go in Bristol for a spot of afternoon tea
It’s Afternoon Tea Week this week, and despite the thermostat in Bristol reaching unenviable levels, there’s always time for a spot of tea.
Be it the age-old argument of PG Tips versus Yorkshire Tea, if it’s jam and then clotted cream on a scone rather than vice versa or using a colour chart to determine how strong you want your tea, this week the UK celebrates the humble pre-dinner nibble.
So while the arguments above continue, allow us to give you the eight best places for afternoon tea, according to Tripadvisor.
Wait - what is Afternoon Tea Week?
Afternoon Tea Week celebrates the great British tradition of Afternoon Tea and is the perfect excuse to catch up with loved ones over a cup of tea and some delicacies.
This year’s Afternoon Tea Week will take place from Monday 8 to Sunday 14 August and venues across the UK will run a selection of exclusive discounts of up to 30% off Afternoon Tea and exciting events to pay tribute to the nation’s favourite pastime.
