Afternoon Tea at the Borrowdale Gates Hotel

About

At Borrowdale Gates Hotel, we invite you to join us for a truly special afternoon tea, where classic British tradition meets the timeless beauty of the Lake District. Overlooking the stunning Borrowdale Valley, our hotel provides the perfect setting to relax, unwind and indulge in one of the nation’s most cherished rituals.

We serve afternoon tea daily from 12pm to 2.30pm, offering a delicious selection of freshly prepared finger sandwiches, warm home-baked scones with jam and clotted cream, and an array of delicate cakes and sweet treats. Each element is thoughtfully created by our kitchen team and served with your choice from a carefully selected range of locally blended teas and herbal infusions.

Whether you choose to take your tea in our light-filled dining room, with sweeping views down the valley, or in one of our comfortable lounges, you’ll find a welcoming and tranquil atmosphere. Surrounded by gardens and panoramic fell views, every visit feels like a special occasion — whether you are celebrating, catching up with friends, or simply treating yourself after a walk in the fells.

For an added touch of indulgence, our Champagne Afternoon Tea is available, bringing a little extra sparkle to your experience. We recommend booking in advance, particularly at weekends and during peak seasons, to ensure you can enjoy a leisurely afternoon with us in this beautiful corner of Cumbria.

We look forward to welcoming you to Borrowdale Gates for afternoon tea.
