  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for brunch
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.

    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.

    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.
