Afternoon Tea in St Andrews

A fresh take on a time-honoured ritual

Afternoon tea at Rufflets blends tradition with a light, modern touch. Located in our 1924 Country House Hotel, it’s a much-loved tradition to enjoy in the elegant surroundings of Rufflets, with its rich heritage and warm Scottish hospitality.

Tradition, evolved

Our afternoon tea in St Andrews has undergone a quiet transformation. Reimagined favourites - like our gravlax and Crowdie croissants - are served alongside dainty classics on bespoke wooden stands. It’s a gentle fusion of East and West. Still afternoon tea, just not quite as you know it. 

A tea worth travelling for

In partnership with the London Tea Exchange, we’ve created something truly special: the Rufflets Centenary Blend. This breakfast-style tea honours Scotland’s rich tea heritage while marking a century of warm welcomes at Rufflets.  

Take it outside

Rufflets Afternoon Tea can be enjoyed almost anywhere at our luxury hotel - inside in a cosy restaurant booth, outside, on the suntrap terrace and among the expansive Rufflets gardens, with plenty of space to relax with friends or family.

Full Afternoon Tea - £35.00 per person

Sparkling Afternoon Tea - £42.50 per person

Champagne Afternoon Tea - £47.00 per person
