Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Steyning

A very enjoyable place for brunch and a walk in the gardens.

We really enjoyed our meal the food was excellent. The only criticism we have is that I have a shellfish allergy and some of the dishes that we chose we were advised would not be suitable as they were cooked in the same pan as food that cooked shellfish. We were very surprised about that with such an upmarket restaurant. One of the courses we did chose had something that was cooked in a pan that had cooked shellfish and they just left that part of the dish off which was good. We would definitely visit the restaurant again.

Visited the Ivy for my birthday and it didn’t disappoint. The shepherds pie and ginger margarita cocktail was delicious, the ambience was warm and inviting with a fabulous singer adding to the joie de vivre . Service was great and I was treated to a special birthday chocolatey profiterole. Will definitely be returning.

Terra made an occasion feel special. We could not fault the exceptional food and this was accompanied by excellent, warm service. It was great value for money. Good quality ingredients cooked with care and skill for a reasonable price. 10/10 would recommend and cannot wait to find a reason to come back again soon.

We arrived towards the end of afternoon tea service, and although we had booked we had to wait about 10-15 minutes for acknowledgement of our arrival in the lounge. The service was excellent, with a clear explanation of all the food we received. All the food was delicious. The noise level was quiet, but only because we chose a quiet lounge (no music) and asked for the door to be closed.
