Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in St Ives

We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas High Tea! From the first moment the staff were so friendly and welcoming, we were seated at a lovely table. They catered for our dietary requirements with ease, everything was delicious, we were in heaven. There was plenty to choose from and it was all fantastic quality. Your pastry chef is obviously very talented. The presentation of the hight tea was lovely and it really didn't disappoint, we couldn't find fault. The only thing I would say is that we should be able to add a tip if paying by card as your staff deserve one for their amazing service.

From the greeting to the farewell, the service was genuine, knowledgeable, friendly, suggestive but not pushy and very professional. The Afternoon Tea was an absolute delight, all of the teas, tasters, canapés, wonderful sandwiches/fillings, extremely adaptable to dietary requirements and the desserts and scones were divine, light & warm. We opted to share a supplemental Caviar Canapé, new to Caviar we were unsure, but when you have a team of chefs like they have, trust in your server and their suggestion. We were blown away, excellent. I would recommend a visit to this restaurant without question or hesitation. We will be back for more for sure!

Delicious food, professional and friendly staff ...and a beautiful view over the bay to Godrevy Lighthouse. Certainly one of the best places in St Ives for lunch.
