Ruby Anniversary Afternoon Tea This Autumn
This autumn you’re invited to join us in celebrating our hotel’s milestone 40th anniversary.
Celebrate 40 years of The Alverton
2024 marks 40 years since we first opened The Alverton’s old oak doors to welcome in guests from near and far for a relaxing stay at our oasis on the hill. From 2nd September until 30th November, you’re all invited to join us in celebrating our hotel’s milestone anniversary with a decadent afternoon tea in Cornwall.
Tuck into a treasure trove of sweet and savoury treats, balanced elegantly on three tiers served with hot pots of Cornish loose leaf tea. We’ll be serving The Ruby afternoon tea in our restaurant, for the ultimate high tea experience in Cornwall. With views across the lush gardens, grab your fellow foodies and graze on delightful finger sandwiches, soft, home baked scones with plenty of jam and Cornish clotted cream (in that order of course), and divine miniature cakes.
The Ruby afternoon tea is £26 per person, and exclusively available from 2nd September until 1st December. Secure your place now by booking online, or by calling 01872 276633.
