Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Ecchinswell

I had the pleasure of experiencing afternoon tea recently, and it was truly delightful. The food was amazing, with an impressive selection of sandwiches, scones, and pastries that were as visually appealing as they were delicious. The ambience was lovely, offering a relaxing and elegant setting perfect for such an indulgent experience. A live pianist played softly in the background, adding a sophisticated and calming touch that enhanced the atmosphere without overwhelming it. The service was incredible, attentive without being intrusive, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure every guest felt special. Overall, it was a memorable afternoon filled with wonderful food and great service! The whole experience was really enjoyable. Highly recommended!

I love this restaurant, my favourite in Oxford. In the summer the garden is a true delight and in the winter the ambience inside is perfect for a cozy special treat dinner in beautiful surroundings. There is much interesting art work, the menu delicious and the wines excellently chosen. The 500 cc carafe option also perfect if one of you is driving. Every time I go with great expectations and have never been disappointed in any way. This is a restaurant to be highly commended.

Best ever! A really country side afternoon. Thank you.

This was a family Halloween afternoon tea and the decor was excellent. The problem was I had only been at the table for 15 minutes when both children (under 7) wanted the toilet. Despite leaving our coats and half eaten food by the time we returned the waitress had cleared the table! The manageress was very apologetic and boxed up some cakes to take away but my coffee and the children’s drinks went without replacement ! Better training for staff please!

I agree with previous comments that the sandwiches were a bit dry, some lacking enough filling - the Ting (the Shard) might be a good place for inspiration. Service was spot on, nothing to complain about.
