Anyone for Tea

Ever since the Victoria & Albert opened the world’s first museum café in 1856 a visit to the tearoom or café has become an essential part of a day out. Indeed, may cafés have become one of the real jewels of a historic house or museum and we don’t mind if you just want to pop in for morning coffee, lunch or afternoon tea.

Our menus range from a simple choice of delicious cakes and coffees in cosy cafés to a Michelin Star restaurant in a rare Grade I listed Pele Tower.

So, take your pick – all our venues have somewhere to relax, reflect on what you have seen or just enjoy the view – with a cuppa of course!
