I was able to book through email and they were very attentive. The place is nice and quaint. Food was good and we even stayed for longer than the allotted time and the attendants were fine with it.

Such a wonderful experience to try with a loved one! My partner and I were nicely welcomed by two wonderful women who made us a homemade afternoon tea. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend.

This was the first afternoon tea I went on and it has definitely opened my eyes to trying out more! Being given a selection of foods to choose from made me feel as though I wasn't limited to eating a single thing at a time! It was really so...

Being given a selection of foods to choose from made me feel as though I wasn't limited to eating a single thing at a time! It was really social too as I felt as though the atmosphere was like a little community!

We enjoyed our afternoon tea very much. The hotel is in a beautiful setting . The afternoon tea was scrumptious and staff friendly and attentive.

We thought the location and staff were lovely! But for £17 for two, the cream tea was just a bit ordinary. It was nice and fresh but we were expecting something more special for that price.
Afternoon Tea for Two in Bournemouth Experience Days Review

Connor and I absolutely love afternoon teas - I mean who doesn’t right, they are delicious! We were so excited for this experience we even looked at the menu before coming and we each planned what we were going to try, and trust me, I have never seen a menu with this much choice. It was so unique and appetising; I couldn’t stop dreaming about the way it would feel to try all those pastries. Our mouths were watering! 

Finally, the day of the experience arrived, and we made our way from our office in Brighton to Dot Teas in Bournemouth. Upon arrival we were nicely welcomed by Sue who is the baker and Gemma who is the decorator of the facility, into a very cosy seating area which overlooks the main street of Seamoor Road. 


Connor and I were amazed by the work that was put into the decoration of the furniture and the artwork; not a detail was left behind. We felt like we were at the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party from Alice in Wonderland


After our Experience Days colleague Charlotte turned up to say hi, the awaiting Gemma and Sue nicely took our orders. Connor ordered a hot chocolate, Charlotte a hot tea, and I went for a foamy coffee. After catching up with each other, our afternoon tea reached our table, and our first impression was “WOW”! The variety of pastries and sandwiches was unreal, and we couldn’t wait to try out all these different foods. 


Beginning with the savoury tier, we each had 4 different sandwiches to try including: egg mayo, ham & mustard, cream cheese & cucumber, and cheese & tomato. In terms of the desserts, we each had 4 different pastries. I won’t spoil the specifics – you’ll just have to go and find out for yourself! 


Finally, of course the inevitable scones with clotted cream and jam. To be very honest with you, I personally have never had a scone in my life, so I started eating it like a piece of cake. Both Charlotte and Connor were looking at me as if I was doing something wrong, so I asked why they were looking at me strangely and they both said that I was eating it entirely incorrectly. We all had a little laugh! 

They both showed me to cut it in half, and now was the time for me to make a big decision as to whether I would put the cream or the jam first on the scone. Well…I will leave this to your imagination because I heard it was debatable! I will just say that no debate occurred that day! 

Overall, the food was delicious, and the service was superb. We had a great time at Dot Teas and if I could go every day, I would. The only advice I would give is to come with an empty stomach. From both of us, a massive thank you to Gemma and Sue from Dot Teas for this unique homemade Afternoon Tea. What an unforgettable experience! 

Dot Teas: Expert Interview

Dot Teas is one of our newest afternoon tea experiences added to our site and we are extremely excited to start offering their beautiful vintage afternoon tea to all our food loving customers. Dot Teas have kindly answered a few questions about their café and what they have to offer.  

Firstly, can you tell me how Dot Teas began? 

Dot Teas has been running for approximately 8 years and I have been the owner since the beginning of 2018. 

What does your Afternoon Tea package entail? 

When I took the tea rooms over it was successfully running but only offered one option of Afternoon Tea. I have slowly started to incorporate more variety and flavours due to everything being cooked by us. One example of our current Traditional Dot Teas Afternoon Teas is:

Sandwiches – Cream cheese & cucumber, Ham & Mustard, Egg mayo and Cheddar cheese with gooseberry & coriander chutney.

Chocolate orange brownie, lemon tart with fresh raspberry, bailey’s fudge and coffee & walnut cake.

Freshly baked scone served with clotted cream & jam

Why did you choose to locate yourself in Westbourne?

Westbourne is a beautiful village with an array of independent eateries and shops offering something a little different and more high end than Bournemouth town centre. It also sits nearby to the beautiful beaches.

What differentiates your Afternoon Tea experiences to other competitors?

Dot Teas offer a warming experience all round. The staff are super friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed and cosy and the food all home made with the exception of the bread from our local bakery Bennetts.


Could you recommend anything to do in Westbourne before or after customers Afternoon Tea experience? 

There are some wonderful clothing shop including Stanwells which is situated next door to us and an inspiring collection of gift shops and beauty salons such as Aphrodite, Polished and The Venue.

Do you have any planned future events taking place at Dot Teas? 

Due to Covid-19 we are currently offering a collection and delivery service for our Afternoon Teas.

Thanks for Reading!


A huge thank you to Gemma at Dot Teas for taking part in an Expert Interview! You have provided us with many interesting facts which have certainly left me with a hungry stomach!
