Afternoon Tea in Guildford’s Countryside Setting
Slow Afternoons with Sandwiches, Scones & Something Sweet
Set within the light-filled Newlands Corner Restaurant, our afternoon tea is one of life’s simple pleasures.
Expect delicate sandwiches, warm scones and handmade cakes, paired with teas from boutique tea house Canton. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply pausing for an afternoon, it’s a ritual best enjoyed slowly – with Surrey Hills views as your backdrop.
Afternoon Tea for Every Occasion
Classic Afternoon Tea
Our Classic Afternoon Tea is all about balance: finger sandwiches filled with timeless favourites, scones served warm with clotted cream and jam, and a changing selection of miniature cakes and pastries. Paired with Canton teas, it’s the perfect countryside pause.
£25 per person
Afternoon Tea with Bubbles
When the moment calls for sparkle, upgrade your tea with bubbles. Choose Prosecco or Champagne, or go local with a Surrey twist — Silent Pool Gin & Tonic alongside your stand of sandwiches and scones. Afternoon tea becomes a celebration, whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or simply because.
Prosecco Afternoon Tea – £32 per person
Silent Pool G&T Afternoon Tea – £37 per person
Champagne from £52 a bottle
Teas by Canton
Canton isn’t just tea, it’s a story. Founded when Jennifer Wood tasted a leaf so good she quit her job to share it, Canton has grown into one of the UK’s leading boutique tea houses. Their blends are beyond organic, sometimes biodynamic, sometimes wild, always chosen for flavour and provenance.
Today, Canton is poured in some of the world’s finest hotels and restaurants. And at Guildford Manor, it’s poured for you. From the floral Jasmine Pearls to the velvety Chocolate Noir, every pot is a little adventure.
Once you taste Canton, it’s hard to go back.
Afternoon Tea, Elevated
Why stop at tea? At Guildford Manor, you can turn an afternoon ritual into a Surrey escape. Pair your tiered stand of scones and sandwiches with time in the spa, or stay the night for a proper break. Afternoon tea, elevated.
