The Kent Afternoon Tea Train

The Kent Afternoon Tea Train

Combine the elegance of steam train travel with a quintessentially British treat as you enjoy Afternoon Tea on one of our heritage trains steaming through the glorious High Weald countryside in the Garden of England.

Working in partnership with Carly’s Afternoon Teas, there is no finer way to relax than with Afternoon Tea on a steam-hauled train. Tuck into an excellent selection of freshly prepared finger sandwiches, scones, cakes, and a choice of teas, all available to you at your table. Why not enhance your Afternoon Tea by adding a bottle of Prosecco as you check out?

Enjoy passing through an area of outstanding natural beauty while keeping an eye out for the famous sandstone rocks and Kentish Oast Houses. There’ll be an opportunity to see the locomotive that pulled your train at either end of the journey.

Your experience will last just over an hour, and you will return to the station from which you boarded.

What’s included:

  • A heritage train ride lasting around 1 hour along the Spa Valley Railway.
  • Your departure time and station are shown on your eTicket. You will return to your start location.
  • A delicious, freshly prepared Afternoon Tea served at your table.
  • The opportunity to stretch your legs to see the locomotive that has pulled your train at either end of the line.
  • An at-seat waiting service, which allows you to purchase drinks.

A great way to enjoy a classic British favourite!

Booking information

Afternoon Tea is available for Adults (16+) and Children (2-15yrs). We can accommodate gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan dietary requirements as long as we are informed of them at the time of booking.

Seats will be allocated after booking. Due to the layout of the coaches, some smaller parties may be required to share a table.

On the day of your visit, please have your e-tickets available to show, either in print or on a mobile device. A member of staff will visually check these before boarding the train.

We regret that there can be no refund or transfer to a future date for ‘no show’ customers. The Spa Valley Railway still incurs charges for its services, which must be paid to our suppliers. We recommend taking out a form of insurance to protect yourself if necessary. To re-book, you will be required to pay the full fare again.
