TEA GUILD MEMBER
The Angel Hotel
The Angel Hotel was once a great coaching inn on the London to Fishguard road and is today a friendly, elegant, Georgian town house hotel.
Tea is served in the Restaurant, at tables beautifully set with crisp linen and fine bone china, and in the sitting-room. In fine weather, tea and afternoon tea can be enjoyed in the attractive sunlit courtyard.
Scones, cakes and pastries are baked daily, in house, by specialist baker, Sally Lane, and include chocolate brownies, delicious custard slices, lemon drizzle cake and profiteroles.
The Angel Hotel give great attention to their well described tea menu by selecting only the finest teas available. The House selection is a fine Assam and Sri Lankan blend and Speciality teas offered include Darjeeling Second Flush, Ceylon, Earl Grey Supreme, Silver Needle White Tea, Flowering Jasmine, Dragon Well Green Tea and Flowering Osmanthus to name only a few!
The Angel Hotel offers the following afternoon tea menus which prove very popular with the many families, groups of friends and, indeed, business colleagues - all of whom ensure that having tea frequently at The Angel is a "must."
The Angel Tea and Cakes
A selection of freshly baked cakes and pastries with your choice of tea
The Angel Tea and Scones

The Angel Afternoon Tea
A selection of sandwiches, including Black Mountain smoked salmon, marinated cucumber and cream cheese, home-cooked ham and egg mayonnaise with cress. Warm scones with strawberry jam and a choice of clotted cream, whipped Friesian cream or butter follow and then a delicious selection of freshly baked cakes and pastries will be served accompanied with your choice of tea.
The Angel Champagne Afternoon Tea
Begin this treat with a glass of Marie-Stuart Champagne followed by a selection of sandwiches, including Black Mountain smoked salmon, marinated cucumber and cream cheese, home-cooked ham and egg mayonnaise with cress.

The Angel would like their many guests to please note that when you have finished afternoon tea and if there are any cakes left, The Angel are happy to box these up for you to take home. All cakes and pastries are made with fresh eggs, butter and cream and should be refrigerated and eaten within 24 hours. (Editor's note: these delicious cakes wouldn't last longer than a very few hours in my house before being enjoyed!)
Do remember that Afternoon Tea vouchers are a great gift to give for any occasion and can be purchased at The Angel.
Don't wait for that special occasion before enjoying these afternoon teas - they really are superb!
