AFTERNOON TEA SALISBURY

served daily from 12-5pm

Can you think of anything better than enjoying an afternoon tea in Salisbury, in our picturesque courtyard, sitting underneath one of the oldest Virginia creeper vines in the world.

We have plenty outside dining space, in truly beautiful surroundings. And in the winter it doesn’t get much better than sitting by an open fire in our 800 year old oak beamed lounge.

Or how about in the comfort of your own home – we’re now offering an afternoon tea takeaway and delivery service! Come and see for yourself, we’re sure you’ll agree that The Red Lion Hotel serves the best afternoon tea in Salisbury.

If you’re looking for an afternoon tea for two, or perhaps you’re arranging a get-together for a few close friends or family, afternoon tea at Salisbury’s most unique hotel is always something rather special.

Lovingly hand-prepared by our chefs and served on a beautiful 3-tier China cake stand. Our delicious afternoon tea includes an assortment of tasty sandwiches, cakes, miniature desserts, fluffy scones with raspberry or strawberry jam and clotted cream. All served with your choice of tea or coffee.

We have a few different menu options, take a look at our afternoon tea menu below to see exactly what’s included.

If dining in, you’ll need to book your table 24 hours in advance by calling us on 01722 323334 or by using our online enquiry form.

Afternoon tea menu

All our afternoon teas are served with your choice of tea or coffee as standard. If you’re ordering an afternoon tea for home delivery or takeaway we’ll include a selection of teas so all you need to do is put the kettle on.

We also offer vegetarian afternoon tea, gluten-free afternoon tea and vegan afternoon tea, but we require seven days’ notice to guarantee availability. If you do have any of these dietary requirements and you’re coming at short notice, it’s worth getting in touch as we may be able to accommodate you.

If you’re joining us for an afternoon tea, why not make it sparkle with a glass or prosecco! For home delivery and takeaway add a bottle of prosecco for just £19.

If afternoon tea in Wiltshire doesn’t quite scratch that itch, we can thoroughly recommend visiting our sister hotel, The Connaught Hotel and Spa, for a truly sumptuous afternoon tea in Bournemouth. They offer a choice of spa day and spa break packages at their luxury spa, which all include a day of pampering with lunch or afternoon tea included.
