Afternoon Tea at the Harbour Loft on St Michael’s Mount is the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion or complete a visit to this enchanting island. Head Chef Greg Milne has created a menu inspired by fresh Cornish produce to be enjoyed on our unique island setting, with sea views north and the backdrop of the castle to the south.

Precisely-cut sandwiches are accompanied by freshly-baked cakes and pastries; while traditional treats boast creative twists. Choose from an extensive selection of Tregothnan tea or add a little fizz with a glass of sparkling wine, produced in a Cornish vineyard just a stone’s throw from the Mount.

When you book, please see the website for information about how to access the island as it varies between walking a cobbled tidal causeway and booking a boat, depending on the tide: https://stmichaelsmount.co.uk/plan-your-visit/opening-times-2023-24/

Polite notice: our restaurant only serves Afternoon Tea and we do not take pre-payment.

    Highly recommend Harbour Loft's afternoon tea. We had a reservation for 4 Adults and 2 children,. We all really enjoyed the selection of sandwiches and cakes. Their scones were delicious. The service was excellent. And the venue was lovely. Having enjoyed many afternoon teas around different parts of the UK, the one served at Harbour Loft was definitely one of the best.

    So worth the wait for the tide to recede at St Michaels Mount and walk the causeway to enjoy a fabulous afternoon tea at the Harbour Loft. I booked online and my time needed to be changed due to the tides but this was not an issue and dealt with in a timely manner. The food was exquisite and the selection of teas divine. Staff very helpful and adored the timers brought with the pots of tea so as not to pour too early. Cannot wait to return next year.

    The worst cream tea I've had in my life! Between us, we paid £65, plus £4.50 to park and £11.20 for return boat tickets, so a total of £80+ for the privilege of having 4 terrible dry quarter sandwiches, one was not even trimmed, and 5 x 10 penny sized sweet and sour canapés. 2 x dry and cold scones. The only view was roofs.
