Is there anything more indulgent than an Afternoon Tea? Whether you are celebrating something special or just fancy a treat, a South Sands afternoon tea is a splendid way to spend an afternoon. Sample a selection of seasonal sandwiches, cakes, warm scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam, and a pot of tea or coffee.

For that special occasion, upgrade to a Deluxe Afternoon Tea with prosecco or for something smaller but as equally as inviting, our cream teas will certainly hit the spot. Just remember, in Devon, it’s cream first.

Booking is essential - Served between 15:00 - 17:00

Pick up the pace post-lunch with a coastal dog walk or paddleboard or wind down with a book on the terrace and mid-afternoon coffee and cake. Nothing sets you up for the rest of the day like a relaxed South Sands lunch.

In the Summer months, our terrace offers a vibrant atmosphere with views of the bustling beach. Come Winter, retreat to the restaurant and savour your classic fish and chips or ribeye steak, then continue your evening with a nightcap by the fire.
