Enjoy an Afternoon Tea

Indulge in all the Isle of Man has to offer and take in some of the most delightful views in the British Isles.

With the idyllic Manx countryside, extensive coastline and beautiful bays, the Isle of Man is a wonderful place to enjoy afternoon tea with your family, friends, or partner. 

Here you can treat yourself to the most traditional of English rituals in one of the many cafés, hotels, and restaurants that offer afternoon tea. 

If you’re not blessed with good weather during your visit, stopping for afternoon tea is the perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon. It lets you experience some of the Island’s exquisite local produce and dry off before your next adventure. 

And if the weather is nice, there’s nothing better than gazing out over the scenic Manx landscape as you savour dainty sandwiches, homemade fruit scones, and a selection of cakes. 

For a traditional afternoon tea, Milntown Café in the north of the Island is open daily throughout the year (except Tuesdays) and has wonderful views of both its Walled Garden and famous Winchester gate. Set in 15 acres of gardens and woodlands, the Milntown Estate is a great place to spend a day. 

In the south of the Island, you can enjoy a traditional afternoon tea at Aaron House in Port St Mary. Served in a Victorian dining room with panoramic sea views over Chapel Bay, you can experience prime Manx produce lovingly prepared to traditional recipes. 

If you’re after high tea with a twist, why not add a glass of prosecco to your afternoon tea at the Claremont Hotel? Situated in the Isle of Man’s capital, Douglas, the Claremont offers a luxurious cream tea with a glass of fizz for an extra touch of elegance. A selection of seasonally inspired treats will create a refined and decadent experience.
