There are a whole plethora of locations to enjoy a scone or two, all with their own take – whether that be a seaside spin, French inspired, or vegetarian. We’ve put together some of the places we love to go for an afternoon tea in Brighton…
Hotel du Vin
Take a walk along the picturesque, cobble-stoned alleyways of the lanes and discover an elegant yet luxurious bistro and hotel known as Hotel du Vin.

We’re here to tell you that yes it does! Tuck into an array of savoury snacks and pastries before moving onto a mix of fresh cakes (there are no scones in this French inspired tea!) including some of the macaroons. This French-inspired cafe oozes with charm and ticks all the boxes if you are after an afternoon tea in Brighton that is beautifully displayed and enticingly tasty! Bon appetit!

The Salt Room
Summer is on its way, making the Salt Room a tempting choice after a stroll along the seafront or perhaps before or after a trip on the i360. Offering a twist to a traditional afternoon tea, it is all inspired by the seaside, so if you enjoy seafood and love the idea of combining this with an afternoon tea, then this is the one for you! With options like Smoked mackerel pate, Crab Rarebit and of course their signature candyfloss you’ll ‘sea’ just why we love this afternoon tea in Brighton so much!
