Afternoon tea menu

One of the most loved aspects of Sands by the Sea is its exquisite Afternoon Teas — so popular, in fact, that there’s often an entire room dedicated just to them!

Sands by the Sea isn’t just known for its amazing fish & chips and private functions,
it’s also famous for its
indulgent Afternoon Tea!

Treat yourself to a delightful selection of sandwiches, cakes, and tea or coffee, all while enjoying stunning views across the Thames Estuary with friends or family. Priced at just £27.50 per person or £55 for two, it’s the perfect way to relax and unwind.

Want to make it extra special? Upgrade to our Sparkling Afternoon Tea and enjoy a glass of Prosecco for just £9.75!

We believe everyone should be able to enjoy this experience, which is why we also offer delicious Gluten-Free and Vegan Afternoon Teas alongside our traditional options.

Please note: Gluten-Free and Vegan Afternoon Teas must be pre-booked.
