Enjoy afternoon tea in the West Midlands.

Whether you’re struggling with what to do during your staycation, or just fancy an outing at the weekend, we have chosen our top picks on the best afternoon tea in the West Midlands that will make sure you have a tea-riffic day out!

Afternoon tea in Birmingham

At the heart of our network is Birmingham. With three stations in the city centre, it is easy to reach from all directions. Plan your day out around an indulgent afternoon tea at Birmingham's Malmaison , located in The Mailbox (and you can enjoy that champagne because our train can take you home!).

Afternoon tea in Stratford-Upon-Avon

If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city centre, why not hop on a train from Snow Hill or Moor Street and visit Shakespeare’s Stratford? Stopping off to cool down in beautiful Henley-in-Arden along the way with a treat from the famous Henley Ice Cream Parlour and Tea Room . With trains to Stratford from only £8.80 each way, it’s a flexible day out that won’t break the bank.

Once in Stratford Upon Avon, afternoon tea options are endless and there is something for every taste and budget. According to Tripadvisor the “best afternoon tea in Stratford” can be found at The Fourteas . Offering excellent value for money and quirky surroundings full of nostalgia and memorabilia, it is well worth a visit.

However, if The Fourteas aren’t for you, how about visiting the elegant terrace of The Arden Hotel and enjoy your afternoon tea overlooking the River Avon, or treat yourself to a classic cream tea at the Hotel du Vin .

Afternoon tea in Coventry

Why not head into bustling Coventry where The Undercroft at St Mary's Guildhall offers an excellent, very affordable afternoon tea within the atmospheric medieval undercroft. Your food is even prepared in the same medieval kitchens that have catered for royalty for over 700 years! With regular trains from Birmingham and taking just 30 minutes, Coventry offers a lovely afternoon out.

Afternoon tea in Worcester

Want to make a day of it? Then head out earlier and stop off in beautiful Worcester. With its racecourse and cobbled streets, it’s a lovely place to enjoy an afternoon delight. G & Tea in the centre of town on historic Friar Street offers Worcestershire’s top-rated afternoon tea, all set in a vintage tearoom.

Alternatively, take a short stroll from Foregate Street to step back in time to The GWR Centenary Lounge where you will enjoy quality food and cocktails in nostalgic art-deco inspired surroundings, which truly capture the style of the 1930’s railways.
