The Madeleine

Colmore Row, City Centre B3 2BS

Housed within the Grand Hotel, this afternoon tea is as fancy as its surroundings! Madeleine Bar serves a traditional afternoon tea every Wednesday to Sunday, 1pm to 5pm, offering finger sandwiches, scones and miniature cakes. All served with a pot of tea and glass of champagne.

The Ivy

67-71 Temple Row, City Centre, B2 5LS

The world-famous Ivy restaurant serves afternoon tea seven days a week with savoury and sweet options to suit every taste and served with a choice of teas and coffees. If the iconic dining room isn’t reason enough to visit, the afternoon tea definitely is!

Malmaison

The Mailbox, 1 Wharfside St, City Centre, B1 1RD

Situated inside the Mailbox, the hotel chain Malmaison offers an affordable afternoon tea that’s high quality if you want a bit of luxury without breaking the bank! With a range of savoury options such as burgers and sliders and a cake selection that includes bakewell tarts and brownies, there’s something for everyone on the platter.

Three Church Road

3 Church Road, Edgbaston, B15 3SH

Just a 2-minute walk from our City South Campus lies Three Church Road. Housed in a beautiful Georgian building, their Afternoon Tea sample menu includes sandwiches and scones, cakes and sweet treats, all served with a cup of tea.

Noel’s Bar and Restaurant

22 Waterfront Walk, City Centre, B1 1SN

With alfresco dining right on the waterfront, Noel’s bar is a beautifully picturesque setting for your next Afternoon Tea. With a choice of teas, champagnes or cocktails, every afternoon tea comes with a selection of sandwiches and savouries, as well as scones and cakes.

Cadbury World

69 Linden Rd, Bournville, B30 1JR

If you’re looking for something that’s more sweet than savoury, the Cadbury Café is for you. A fun day out for all the family, the chocolate treats don’t stop at the tour. Whilst still serving the traditional sandwiches you’d expect in an afternoon tea, their sweet treats are chocolatey and delicious.
