Bring on the delicious delicacies with an Afternoon Tea in Chudleigh. This ancient wool town is located in Devon, South West England, between Newton Abbot and Exeter.
It lies close to the edge of Dartmoor and in the Teign Valley, relatively near the Iron Age hill fort of Castle Dyke. There is much history and culture to discover here. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, though, look no further than our listings.
Exploring the History of Chudleigh in Devon
Chudleigh began as a Saxon settlement many hundreds of years ago. However, most of its development took place following the Norman Conquest. It received a charter by King Edward II in 1309, eventually becoming a centre for wool production.
A huge fire in 1807 destroyed two-thirds of the town, but it has since been rebuilt and now, of course, hosts several places to get an Afternoon Tea in Chudleigh.
What is Included in a Chudleigh Afternoon Tea?
Those who haven’t had a Chudleigh Afternoon Tea before, who’re curious to know what it consists of, are in for a treat. This traditional meal boasts the finest Loose Leaf Tea, usually either English Breakfast or Earl Grey, although other options might be available.
Expect, too, finger sandwiches of various fillings, scones with cream and jam (the Devonshire way!), and a sizable serving of cake.
More Considerations Before Booking a Table
But there could well be more should you truly want to go above and beyond. Why not, for example, ask for a bottle of Champagne or Prosecco alongside your heavenly goodies? Meanwhile, vegans, vegetarians and gluten free-ers will, undoubtedly, have their needs catered to.
Whatever you’re looking for, whether you’re a tourist or a local, an Afternoon Tea in Chudleigh is an excellent choice.
