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 friends or a large group, 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 savoury finger sandwiches, cakes, miniature desserts, and clotted cream scones. We have a few different 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.
