Afternoon Tea in Reigate: Where to Book

For afternoon tea around Reigate, most people book one of three country-house hotels: Reigate Manor on Reigate Hill (from £30), Nutfield Priory east of Redhill (from £35) and Langshott Manor in Horley (from £42). In the town itself, Canakin on the High Street runs a Sunday afternoon tea. Every entry was checked against the venue’s own website on 28 October 2026.

We have not had tea at these places for this guide, and nothing here is a review. Each entry sets out what the venue says about itself, the prices and serving times it publishes, and how to book. It then adds the Food Standards Agency (FSA) hygiene rating. Prices are as published on the day we checked.

How we chose

This is a list of the places people search for when they want afternoon tea around Reigate, chosen on records anyone can check, not on taste. Every entry publishes its afternoon tea, with serving times, on its own website. Most are hotels, because that is where afternoon tea around Reigate is served every day. Canakin is the one independent in the town centre that runs a bookable afternoon tea.

We left out anything with a food hygiene rating below 3. We also left out tea rooms that do not publish an afternoon tea on a website of their own. If yours is one of them, send us the link.

We checked every venue’s own site on 28 October 2026 for prices, serving times, booking and any closure notice, and took hygiene ratings from the FSA register the same day. Prices change, and Christmas menus often replace the usual one in December, so check with the venue before you book.
