Experience Cornwall's most decadent afternoon tea

All Year Afternoon Tea

It can be such a long time between lunch and supper. In summer, when the sun’s starting to dip, but the evening hasn’t kicked in, or in winter when you return tired from your coastal stomp but that dinner seems such a distant prospect.

Enter afternoon tea, invented for those foodless hours, designed to sweeten the soul. And at The Headland it’s an occasion to savour and linger over. A grand tradition in Cornwall’s grandest hotel with iconic Atlantic views: it’s charming, elegant, frivolous, and just plain fun. Don't forget to add a little extra indulgence with a glass of Champagne too!

Cornish Cream Tea

When the classic British tradition of afternoon tea hit Cornwall, they said, ‘Where’s the clotted cream?’ It’s almost illegal not to try this when you’re in county. Tuck into hot Headland scones, Boddington’s jam and a bowl of Rodda’s, washed down with a selection of top teas. Cream on top is the local way, but we won’t tell if you forget…

Served in The Terrace between 11:00 - 17:00 daily. £12.00 per person.
