Guide | Where to go for Afternoon Tea in Peterborough

     The Mum Diaries      3 Comments

Last year I was looking at in places that offered Afternoon Tea in Peterborough as a birthday treat for my mum. I really struggled to find a list of different places, google doesn’t throw much our way and Facebook was useless. So I thought I would compile a list. Hopefully, you will all find this just as useful as I did.

    Some good ones there! I’d add Elton garden centre and also a bit further afield but I’ve been told absolutely amazing, carriages at Fenstanton.

    Thank you- really helpful- however, I had a Dobbies afternoon tea in 2024 at Peterborough and was extremely disappointed. There was no one to take us to our table, I had to find a random staff member, it then took over 20 minutes for anyone to even come and offer tea or coffee. I had reserved this, and it is all timed, so were expecting staff to be on duty. The savoury was cold, sandwiches smothered in margarine so pretty poor all round. I did complain, and no one got back to me.
