A five-star Cornish hotel will be offering afternoon tea by the sea with a festive twist this Christmas.

Running from December 1st to 23rd, The Headland in Newquay, will provide festive sandwiches, homemade scones with lashings of Cornish clotted cream and jam, along with Christmas fancies and cakes to celebrate the season.

The cakes this year will include mulled wine trifle, cranberry macaroon, chocolate orange yule log, homemade Christmas cake and of course, a mince pie.

The Festive Afternoon Tea will be served in the hotel's multi award-winning restaurant, The Samphire, with dramatic views over the Atlantic Ocean.

“We are looking forward to putting our fun festive twist on the classic afternoon tea and invite guests to take home a little slice of Headland Christmas spirit,” said The Headland's Director Veryan Palmer.

“After the disruption of last Christmas, we hope people can once again enjoy getting together with family and friends and enjoying a delicious and indulgent treat while admiring the spectacular ocean views,” she added.

Guests will also have the opportunity to take home a decoration from the Samphire's wonderfully huge Christmas tree as a reminder of their festive tea by the sea.

The restaurant offers a warm welcome to visitors who can take refuge from the crashing waves by the fire and can add a little more sparkle to the occasion with a glass of champagne or an afternoon tea cocktail.

The Festive Afternoon Tea will follow on from the success of the Witches Afternoon Tea currently available at the luxury hotel. 

Tickets for the Festive Afternoon Tea are priced at £35 per person on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and £30 Monday to Thursday with booking essential.
