Afternoon Tea

Traditional Devon Cream Teas are an institution here at Mill End Hotel, served in the main season from 12pm until 4pm every day in our attractive gardens or one of our lounges. Our Afternoon Teas are a very special treat, available every day for 2 to 55 people.

UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE WE ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCEPT ANY VOUCHERS FROM THIRD PARTY WEBSITES FOR AFTERNOON TEA. WE CAN ONLY ACCEPT THOSE PURCHASED DIRECTLY FROM MILLENDHOTEL.COM. We are very sorry for any inconvenience – please contact voucher supplier to seek a refund.

Take a look at the sample menu here. Booking is essential for our lovely afternoon teas, however not essential for any of our light lunches or cream teas.

Our lovely outdoor lodge is the perfect all-weather setting for lunch and afternoon teas. Enquire with us now about private hire for your group celebration or event.

We are very easy to get to and the perfect stop-off for your day out on Dartmoor. You’ll find us on the A382 just outside the pretty Dartmoor village of Chagford. The River Teign runs alongside our gardens, and Castle Drogo is just across the valley.

Please pre-book for Afternoon Tea, by calling us on 01647 432282 or email info@millendhotel.com.

Afternoon Tea

Jam First or Cream First?

For those with a serious interest in Cream Teas, the burning debate remains, of course – what goes on your scone first – the cream or the jam?

If you speak to the good folk of Cornwall they will probably tell you that they apply a liberal layer of butter, then jam, then cream. But here in Devon we (mostly) subscribe to the “cream then jam” school of thought.

Interestingly, London’s Ritz Hotel, purveyors of fine cream teas to the rich and famous, joins us in that opinion.

But truth be told, we don’t think it matters that much. Warm home-made scones, a generous dollop of jam, and a spoonful of local Clotted Cream make the perfect afternoon treat, in whatever order you choose to apply them!

For Afternoon Teas and Cream Teas we can accommodate groups – ask us about special discounts for 10 or more guests.
