cramatdel   10 #1 Posted November 22, 2015 Hi all,  Can anyone recommend somewhere for an early-ish afternoon tea in or around Sheffield on Christmas Eve? It's my wife's 30th, so would be nice to go somewhere a bit special. Don't mind driving a bit, preferably north rather than South though as we're meeting friends from Wakefield.  Thanks, Craig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Tanktwo   10 #2 Posted November 24, 2015 Not sure if a lot of places will do afternoon tea on Christmas Eve, but Wentworth Garden Centre does an excellent one. Geographically it might suit you and your friends, come to junction 36 M1. I've had afternoon tea at the Ritz, and pound for pound Wentworth stands up very well in terms of food quality( not quite the same surroundings) but there you go!

natjack   10 #8 Posted December 8, 2015 If you don't want to go too far out of town, Jameson's Tearooms on Abbeydale Road, just down on the other side from the old cinema. Do a great afternoon tea, good selection of food and cakes as well.  ---------- Post added 11-12-2015 at 00:33 ----------  dont you just hate it when someone asks for advice and then never even bothers to come and look at it.

Ruby2   10 #9 Posted December 17, 2015 If you want to go further afield (as the weather is mild and it's a 30th) you could go to one of the Bettys tea shops, though they close around 4pm. Bettys is one of my favourite tea shops - I've been to all 6!  http://issuu.com/bettysandtaylors/docs/bettys-harrogate-christmas-opening-?e=1631292/11912189  Alternatively try a nice hotel as they'll not be desperate to close and get off home for Christmas! Whitley Hall Hotel off the A61 nr Grenoside would be handy for your Wakefield companions.  http://www.afternoontea.co.uk/uk/yorkshire-the-humber/south-yorkshire/whitley-hall-hotel/  They also do a lunch (whether it's this price at Christmas I don't know):  http://www.whitleyhall.com/special_offers  I've never been - I live too nearby!

MJ01 Â Â 430 #10 Posted December 17, 2015 Afternoon tea at Whitley is bob on - bit more expensive than some places but the surroundings are lovely. Worth the extra for the Mrs birthday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
