Afternoon tea is one of my favourite things in life. It’s such a treat and my ultimate luxury for a birthday or celebration. But, it’s also something I love to share with the children. However, it’s really hard to find options for traditional or themed afternoon teas that cater for children of all ages.
Afternoon tea for children
I love going for afternoon tea as a family. Tea time is such a wonderful treat. A full tea service with tiered cake stands and tiny cakes plus freshly baked scones with cream and jam. It’s such a british tradition and something I love sharing with the children. Plus, it’s a great choice of indoor activities, perfect for the winter, a wet weather day or just some time inside together.
But, when we have that beautiful, traditional afternoon tea experience, I want them to have the same experience on a smaller scale – not just giving them a scone or a slice of cake.
So I’ve scoured the hotels, restaurants, cafes and tea rooms of Surrey to find ones that have afternoon tea options for children. Ones that offer an actual afternoon tea for kids rather than a cream tea option that you could buy for your children.

I hope that has given you some afternoon tea inspiration around Surrey. It’s definitely helped me to find more places to try – and we already have a couple of afternoon tea dates pencilled in the diary! Nothing quite meets a tray of homemade cakes, warm scones served straight from the oven and an extensive loose leaf tea menu!
I’ve included just the basic cost for adult afternoon tea – as this post was obviously all about the children! But, all of the options above had other afternoon tea options available. You can upgrade to champagne afternoon tea in most places or have a glass of Prosecco, a G&T or a cocktail in others. If you want more adult options, you can see our full guide to afternoon tea in Surrey here.
Also, if you’re happy to go further afield, these posts may be useful – and there’s options for afternoon tea delivery too.

We can’t recommend the Langham Afternoon Tea, the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Afternoon Tea at One Aldwych, or the Afternoon Tea at the Milestone Hotel enough – although they’re in London and a train ride from the Surrey options above.
If there’s anywhere I’ve missed that you know does a wonderful afternoon tea for children please do get in touch and let me know.
