Afternoon tea at the Norfolk Hotel

After a family day out on the beach in Bournemouth, we decided to head over to a restaurant for afternoon tea before heading home. I'd planned to go to the Norfolk Hotel previously but my plans fell through so this was the first time I had been there.

The Hotel is situated out of the business of the main town so the atmosphere was very chilled and relaxed. We sat ourselves in what seemed to be a lounge area, it had a very old and timely tearoom feel about it. I decided to opt for the cream tea as i was still relatively full from lunch and could not face the substantial size of the full afternoon tea.

The china the tea was presented in wasn't as delicate as i'd hoped, it was white and basic. But still the teapot held around three cups of tea which was good value for money! The cream tea features two scones, two pots of jam and a dish of clotted cream. The scones had been freshly baked at the hotel so they were deliciously hot, and a good standard size. The cream was lovely as well, there was plenty of it to lavish upon the scones. The staff were also very friendly, we didn't realise how important pre-booking was at this hotel but they were very helpful to ensure they could provide the best of what they had.

At £6.95 the Norfolk provided an afternoon tea that was incredible value for money. I would happily return and be eager to try the full afternoon tea that they have on offer.
