Where to Have Afternoon Tea for Kids in Berkshire 2024
We love going for afternon tea as a family. We love everything about it – from the variety of teas, to the little cakes and the finger sandwiches, cut so neatly. But, it can be hard to find afternoon tea that is suitable for children, afternoon tea with child-friendly sandwich fillings and cakes that they’ll love.
So I thought I would put together all the children’s afternoon teas across Berkshire. There are themed afternoon teas and more basic options but they are all afternoon tea options that have been created with children in mind. No longer will children ahve to sit with just a scone and a hot chocolate whilst their parents tuck into a three tier cake stand. Thanks to the options below, children can have the full afternoon tea experience.

There are some other venues across Berkshire that come really well recommended but sadly don’t have a children’s afternoon tea menu – Cliveden House Hotel, Donnington Valley Hotel, Cantley House Hotel and The Vineyard to name a few. However, they are still a great option for afternoon tea and hopefully they’ll introduce children’s options soon.
