Award-winning afternoon tea
We are very pleased to reveal that Boringdon Hall has earned an Award of Excellence for afternoon tea.
Our five-star hotel near Plymouth was named among just 28 venues in the UK to receive an Award of Excellence at the Afternoon Tea Awards 2026, held at Raffles London at The OWO and sponsored by AfternoonTea.co.uk.
The Afternoon Tea Awards recognise venues that deliver creativity and exceptional standards in afternoon tea service. It is an honour to be among those highlighted on a national stage.
Behind every afternoon tea at Boringdon Hall lies the imagination and precision of Head Pastry Chef John Brimicombe and his dedicated team. Each menu is thoughtfully created, bringing together delicate savouries, freshly baked scones and beautifully crafted confections that reflect the season, the setting and the simplicity of taking time over something special.
“It brings me great joy to see the team’s hard work recognised. Creating afternoon tea experiences that become fond memories for our guests is an exciting process, and one we will continue to devote time and care to developing,” says John.
This Award of Excellence is a proud moment for the entire team, and a testament to the passion and craftsmanship behind every afternoon tea at Boringdon Hall.
Whether enjoyed as a celebration, a gift or simply an opportunity to escape for something a little indulgent, afternoon tea at Boringdon Hall offers a moment of quiet luxury within this historic manor house hotel in Devon.
