There’s something wonderfully unhurried about afternoon tea. Plates of neat finger sandwiches, warm scones that still feel fresh from the oven, and a line up of little cakes that make you linger over each bite. If you’re visiting Paultons Park or exploring the New Forest, our afternoon tea at The Mortimer Arms is a lovely way to pause the day.
What to expect
We keep things classic and freshly made. Think soft bread with simple fillings, scones with jam and clotted cream, and a changing selection of sweet treats that follow the seasons. The tea is properly brewed and poured, and if you’d like to toast an occasion, you can add a glass of fizz.
When to book
Afternoon tea is popular, especially around weekends and school holidays, so it’s best to book ahead. If you’re planning a birthday surprise or baby shower, tell us the details and we’ll help with the little touches.
Make it a day out
We’re just by Junction 2 of the M27 with Paultons Park moments away. Book a late sitting after a morning in the park, or start with tea and take a gentle stroll in the forest afterwards. Families are welcome, and we can usually accommodate dietary needs with a bit of notice.
Giftable and social
Afternoon tea is an easy gift idea and a great excuse to catch up. Bring parents, round up a couple of friends, or treat the kids after a busy day of rides. If you’d like a quieter spot, ask when you book and we’ll do our best to seat you somewhere cosy.
