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.

Thank you for this list of afternoon tea’s. It will make choosing a lot easier.
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.
