Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Rye

This was my first but not last visit. It was Nutcracker themed afternoon tea. All tables were in themed booths, the deco was outstanding (says the art student) and gave a really great feel. Food was plentiful and really imaginative (think pigs in blanket hot dog in brioche canapé) and good quality. Music obvs was Nutcracker (think Dad would’ve ben disappointed not ELP) and loads of Xmas favs. Just a truly brilliant experience

My friend and I had such a lovely afternoon tea at the fancy fox, the restaurant is really beautiful and had a lovely atmosphere, and our food was amazing! You can tell it’s all home made, and my friend had some allergy’s which were catered for with no problem and she said it was the best she’s had! Thank you, will definitely be back!

Fabulous food, as always. Absolutely love this restaurant, staff are always very attentive and allow us to take our time to enjoy our delicious lunch. Very relaxed atmosphere, would thoroughly recommend.

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.

Staff were lovely and friendly. Food was freshly made and very tasty. The only downside was the price of the drinks but it was a hotel so expected this.
