 <p class="font-benton text-lg text-center leading-[30px] text-gray-700 font-normal pt-5">The prestigious Michelin Guide is a highly respected and influential collection of exceptional hotels and restaurants across the world, reviewed and rated by discerning culinary experts. The very first iteration was produced in 1900 by founders of the now world-famous Michelin tyre company, brothers Édouard, and André Michelin. Originally produced for French motorists to encourage car travel, and by extension, the demand for tyres, it included maps, locations of petrol stations, and places to eat and rest for the night. As Guide Michelin continued to grow in influence over the century, and today, inclusion in its pages and a star rating is highly sought after by fine dining establishments all over the world.</p>

  </div> 
  <div> 
   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">While London has long been considered the epicentre of fine dining in the UK, Birmingham produces some of the highest quality food in the country. Its diverse culinary scene is a reflection of its rich history and cultural heritage, a fusion of traditional British and international cuisine with strong influences from South Asia and the Caribbean. Outside of the capital, Birmingham was the first city in the UK to boast a Michelin star and today the city and its surrounding area are home to nine Michelin star restaurants, four of which are located in the vibrant centre. Let’s take a look at what Birmingham’s impressive Michelin circuit has to offer.</span>

  <div> 
   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">&nbsp;</span>
    <span style="text-align: center; background-color: transparent;">Fittingly named after its chef-patron, Adam’s Restaurant opened its doors in 2013, with husband-and-wife team, Adam and Natasha Stokes at the helm. The contemporary fine dining restaurant quickly became a favourite luxury dining destination for residents and visitors of Birmingham, and the duo relocated from their small premises in Bennett’s Hill to the grand New Oxford House on Waterloo Street in the heart of the city in 2016. The 36-cover dining room is airy and spacious, with its sharp and simple decor a subtle nod to the building’s Art Deco roots, providing a perfect backdrop for a luxurious dining experience. The food itself is like a work of art. The A La Carte and two tasting menus can change daily while fresh seasonal produce lies at the heart of each creation. Dishes like monkfish with fennel, XO sauce, and prawn, and the aged beef with truffle, alliums, and Bordeaux, are perfect examples of Stokes’ creative and carefully selected combinations. For an extra special experience, book a seat on the Chef’s Table in the kitchen environment so you can watch the talented team prepare your food.</span>

   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Situated in one of Birmingham's finest conservation areas, Purnell’s Restaurant on Cornwall Street is another gem in Birmingham’s luxury dining scene. Chef-patron, Glynn Purnell, was certainly no stranger to Michelin quality cooking on opening the restaurant, having been head chef at the then-fine dining destination in Edgbaston, Jessica’s, when it was awarded Birmingham’s first ever Michelin star in 2003. Purnell’s opened in 2007 and received its own Michelin star in 2009. The 46-cover restaurant features a diners-only bar and lounge areas, where guests can enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail or after-dinner coffee in plush surroundings. While the colourful and contemporary restaurant compliments the chef-patron's vibrant personality, the food also reflects his wealth of culinary experience, including time working with celebrity chefs Gordon Ramsay and Gary Rhodes, and travels and work with Michelin-starred chefs in Europe. Across a tasting menu, fresh ingredients are elevated with bold flavours from France and the Far East, with signature dishes like Creedy Carver Duck and agnolotti with smoked burrata and burnt tomato being received with great acclaim. Purnell takes great pride in colourful concoctions and flamboyant presentation to bring his creations to life.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Simpsons is a mainstay of Birmingham’s luxury dining scene with three decades of culinary excellence to its name. Chef-patron Andreas Antonia realised his dream by opening his own restaurant in Kenilworth in 1993. The restaurant relocated to an elegant Grade II-listed Georgian villa in Edgbaston in 2004, incorporating bright and modern decor that carefully complements and respects the building’s rich heritage. In fitting synergy, the menu offers contemporary twists on classic British cuisine, incorporating exotic flavours from around the world, demonstrated by the popular Cornish lamb dish perfectly paired with courgette and mint, or the Brixham grab elevated with sea herbs and pink grapefruit. Simpsons offers three and five course menus, a tasting menu, a plant-based menu, and Sunday lunch, with elegant twists on some of the nation’s favourite dishes. If you’ve still got room for dessert, the delicious brioche ice cream with peach and almond offers a perfect conclusion.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">The first and only Indian Michelin-starred restaurant outside of the capital and Birmingham’s first restaurant to achieve two Michelin stars, Opheem Indian fine dining restaurant on Summer Row offers a first-class dining experience. Birmingham-born and bred chef and owner, Aktar Islam, describes his culinary creations as the ‘unleashing’ of the inner workings of his mind. The five-course, ten course and A La Carte menus change with the seasons and offer progressive takes on classic Indian cuisine, keeping the very best but eschewing comfort and familiarity for experimentation and adventure. Tandoori BBQ mutton rib, korma with Orkney scallop, and the cumin milk loaf with onion bhuna butter are all fine examples of what Islam does best – adapting and evolving classics to create something entirely unique. To complement the bold flavours, let the expert sommelier team take you on a trip around the globe with their exceptional pairings. The beautifully lit, elegant restaurant also houses a private dining room, perfect for intimate dinners with family and friends, business lunches, and special occasions.</span>

The Best Afternoon Tea in Surrey

<div class="block lg:hidden" style="height: 15px;">

<div class="hidden lg:block" style="height: 30px;">

<div class="px-5 sm:px-10 max-w-4xl mx-auto"> 
 <p class="font-benton text-lg text-center leading-[30px] text-gray-700 font-normal pt-5">Is there anything more English than going for afternoon tea with a beautifully laid table replete with table cloth, fine China crockery, and silver cutlery? Then there are the refreshments themselves – tea poured from a teapot, or even fine champagne poured into crystal flutes, with delicately cut sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, not to mention a selection of delicious cakes and pastries. But where did the tradition of Afternoon Tea originate? It’s said that it was the Duchess of Bedford in 1840 who introduced the custom of a small meal at 4 o’clock in the afternoon because she was so hungry and couldn’t wait hours for her evening meal. The custom caught on in High Society, and nearly 200 years later, we can all enjoy the ‘meal’ and the experience.</p> 
 <p class="font-benton text-lg text-center leading-[30px] text-gray-700 font-normal pt-5"><span style="line-height: 1.1;">But it’s not only about what’s on the table that makes a delicious and enjoyable afternoon tea. It’s the venue and its surroundings that count just as much as the food and drink. Just as Afternoon Tea is the most English of mealtimes, <a href="https://sothebysrealty.co.uk/area-guides/surrey/surrey/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Surrey</a> is perhaps the most quintessentially English of counties, not even 30 minutes from London. With beautiful villages and vibrant towns surrounded by the most picturesque countryside, no wonder it’s viewed as being up there with the best that England has to offer. Usually described as leafy and quaint, Surrey has a tradition of providing the best establishments to take afternoon tea at, with a range of venues from five-star hotels to village tea shops and cafes and even the gardens of thatch-roofed pubs.</span></p>

 </div> 
 <div> 
  <div style="text-align: center;">
   <span style="line-height: 1.1;">This is even more English in character than most if not all of the choices available. Set beside a picturesque river, you can sit on the terrace and watch the gentle flow of the river with birds twittering on the perfect summer’s day. And then, once you’ve enjoyed finger sandwiches, scones with raspberry jam, and clotted cream, you can take your seat in the adjoining theatre and take in the show. And like most Afternoon Tea menus, it doesn’t have to be tea that you’re drinking – a glass of fizz, white or rose, is just as fitting, especially on a classic July or August afternoon.</span>

  </div> 
  <div> 
   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">This choice is definitely at odds with the traditional idea of Afternoon Tea and would seem to suggest that between ordering a pot of tea and a chilling bottle of something fizzy and alcoholic the choice is probably pre-determined. What Denbieshas in its favour is the choice of locations within the Estate that you have to enjoy the occasion. For starters, Denbies offer either informal cream teas in their Conservatory Restaurant or their premium Sparkling Afternoon Tea in the Vineyard Restaurant.</span>

  <div> 
   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">In a step up from that, there’s the Afternoon Tea Hamper that accompanies The Vineyard Tour. You’ll enjoy a glass of Denbies Sparkling Wine as you are taken on a tour of the vineyard on the outdoor train up to the highest viewpoint on the estate. And the views are worth the ride up there. Following the tour, it’s time to enjoy an Afternoon Tea Hamper on the Lawn, alongother beautiful views. A further option following the tour, is a traditional afternoon tea served at the Vineyard Hotel with more superb sweeping views across the whole of the Vineyard over a Sparkling Wine, or a cup of tea or coffee.</span>

  </div> 
  <div> 
   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">It’s doubtful that there’s a prettier venue for Afternoon Tea than this – Ramster Garden is a famous, award-winning botanic garden situated in the South of Surrey. The Ramster Garden Tea House itself is a delightfully picturesque café, with indoor and outdoor seating, situated on the edge of Ramster Garden. Less formal than the other establishments, but no less worth a visit for Afternoon Tea. The really nice feature of this location is that visitors can combine a visit to the café with a walk around the garden, or just come for the café as no entrance fee is required for café visits.</span>

  </div> 
  <div> 
   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">It appears that the Harbour Hotel is the unanimous choice when it comes to THE place to go for <a href="https://sothebysrealty.co.uk/the-journal/best-afternoon-tea-in-surrey/" rel="noopener">Afternoon Tea in Surrey</a>. It’s hard to get a better recommendation than this. ‘The town centre four-star deluxe hotel offers an Afternoon Tea fit for a Queen!’ The Harbour is a stunning modern hotel in the centre of Guildford with the kind of reviews that can’t be ignored. The Afternoon Tea itself is traditional with a couple of mouth-watering variations. You’ll enjoy a delicious selection of freshly prepared sandwiches, cakes, pastries, buttery shortbread, strawberries dipped in chocolate and "Queen of Hearts jam tarts''. These are served alongside traditional scones with Devonshire clotted cream, jam and washed down with a fine selection of teas and coffees. The hotel is very welcoming when it comes to their clientele. For the children attending the Tea, there's even a 'Madhatter Milkshake'. If you hadn’t already worked it out, there’s also an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ theme at work in this particular Afternoon Tea menu.</span>

   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Most of the establishments only take bookings for Afternoon Tea, and the cost varies from place to place so it’s advisable to phone ahead and check, whichever one you choose. But whatever the place, and whatever the cost, it seems that this quaint old English custom is more popular than ever, not least in Surrey.</span>

It has boosted the overall desirability for emerging businesses looking for a home, created hundreds of new opportunities for curated breaks and holidays, and made Manchester a hotspot for global events. The recent Metiers D’Art show from Chanel in December 2023 is perhaps the best example of how the city’s vibrant energy is being embraced by some incredibly impressive cultural heavyweights.</p>

   <span style="line-height: 1.1;">This marvellous building right in the heart of Manchester city centre remains a perfect example of how to sympathetically restore and maintain Edwardian Baroque architecture in the modern age. This was previously the home of Manchester’s own Stock Exchange and the features and details of marble, brass, and intricate woodwork that represent the wealth and riches that would once flow here. Forty rooms and a collection of stunning signature suites are available each with their own theme and sense of place connected to the city. The luxurious House that occupies the entire top floor is a serviced home for your stay with a 346 square metre open-plan penthouse, complete with its own bar, kitchen, three king-sized bedrooms, and an immaculately designed dining room. The House terrace also offers unmatched views of Manchester cityscape skyline to watch the sunset with a drink in hand. Prices for the House are available by contacting the team at Stock Exchange directly with a waiting list for long-term residency.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">The Lowry Hotel has long been the hotel of choice for the well-heeled visitor to Manchester with a number of celebrity patrons returning time after time when visiting the city. The football manager, Jose Mourinho, famously made this place his home for almost 900 days as he managed Manchester United, racking up an impressive bill close to £1 Million for his time there. Named after the brilliant impressionist painter L.S Lowry, who captured the industrial life of the city and its residents in a unique way, the hotel seeks to do things in a similarly unique and individual manner. It is often host to some fantastic art events and exhibitions with the artwork in the rooms expressing the energy of Manchester in a wonderful way. An Elemis Spa, relaxation areas, and a sauna attend to everything required after a day shopping and sightseeing, with the on-site hair salon ready to prepare you for an evening in the city. Rooms here will average £400 - £500 per night.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Hotel Gotham has a reputation for being the coolest hotel in all of Manchester and at street level it is easy to understand exactly why. The dominating art deco stone building towers above you at the head of Manchester’s King Street, the go-to location for high-end and luxury fashion retail in the city. Everything about Hotel Gotham is done for a truly experiential stay with an element of theatre to all aspects of your time here. As you may expect from the name there are some subtle nods to the Caped Crusader, but this is all about doing things in real style not in a comic book manner. The dark and moody lighting of the corridors and open areas evoke a 1920s-era city with excitement and intrigue around every corner. Subtle elements such as the Guest Directory taking the form of an old broadsheet newspaper are a great touch. The Honey restaurant at the top of this old banking institution delivers fine cuisine as you watch the city unfold below you through the opulent half-crescent windows. Suites in the Inner Sanctum here average at around £1000 per night.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">The Edwardian is a Radisson Collection hotel located in a building in the centre of Manchester that is ladened with so much history and so many stories they could fill an entire book. This was the site of the Free Trade Hall which housed speeches from Charles Dickens and Winston Churchill, concerts from Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, and a Sex Pistols gig that ignited a punk rock revolution across the whole country. It is now an award-winning five-star destination with a Superbrands Hotel accolade that recognises excellence in the industry. The Peter Street Kitchen restaurant provides contemporary Mexican and Japanese small plates that hold such a high standard that it was awarded the Best Luxury Restaurant award in 2019. With the Library Champagne bar offering a delightful afternoon tea experience and signature cocktails, there is something to attend to your needs at all times of the day too. Average room prices here are £520 per night.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">The Manchester hotel scene is gaining more recognition and attracting greater numbers every year. The somewhat limited five-star options that are on offer to the city means there is definitely an air of exclusivity, and bookings should be made plenty of time in advance to prevent disappointment. The hotel experiences in this guide will provide the most appropriate luxury foundation for a visit to a city that is welcoming, warm, and exciting for any traveller.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Located on Corstorphine Hill, Edinburgh Zoo is an endlessly attractive proposition. It’s well-known for housing the UK's only giant pandas and koalas, but beyond these headline acts, it is also home to over 1,000 diverse and exotic animals, including penguins, big cats, and primates, and offers an ever-evolving variety of exhibits and experiences. Of paramount importance – animal welfare is high on the agenda, and Edinburgh Zoo garners plenty of praise for the apparent good health of the animals, and their well-maintained enclosures. This reflects well on the staff, who are friendly and knowledgeable, and experts in guiding quietly thrilling interactive experiences, with the sloth encounter particularly popular among families. Children also love the penguin parade and there is even the chance to act as a zookeeper for the day. Family-friendly facilities are a big draw too: there are plenty of rest areas, cafes, and picnic spots dotted around the grounds – along with play areas for children.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">A hands-down no-brainer to visit: the Museum of Childhood is an absolute treasure trove and, when opened in 1955, was the world’s first ever museum dedicated to the history of childhood. All ages will enjoy the vast and impressive collection of toys, games, and artefacts relating to British childhoods – whether for nostalgic recognition or rapt curiosity, whether to ponder how much things have changed through the ages, or what has stayed the same. Among the fascinating and rare objects are toys, games, clothes, books, and dolls, dating from the 1800s to the present day – and a child’s life at home, at school, and at play is brought vividly to life with the displays – it can be like travelling back in time. Highlights include ‘Radio Rex’ – a 1920s voice-activated toy – and the Fisher-Price Chatter Telephone from 1979, long before the modern smartphone could even be comprehended, never mind invented. Raucous laughter is often heard in the fancy dress area – the substantial costume collection reflecting children’s fashions and lifestyles of years gone by is much more fun if all the generations get involved. The museum also has a captivating photographic archive.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Just south of the city centre – a short bounce, you might say – is Gravity Active. An amazing indoor trampoline park and playground, this is the place to really let loose: if the kids have energy to burn and want to go wild, a genuinely exhilarating experience awaits. Open Jump sessions means just that – jumping, bouncing, hopping, and dancing through the air on extreme trampolines, twisting and turning your body across all of the general park activity areas. It can make for an intense, but hugely rewarding 60-minute session as visitors try to defy gravity with huge jumps and acrobatic skills before tackling the ‘Gravity Assault’ course. There is also an extended two-hour Jump session, in which activities like dodgeball matches and basketball courts are introduced, enhancing the overall high – pun intended! Safety is at the core of the experience – staff are fully trained and will guide suitability – while the sessions cater to all ages and skill levels. You don’t have to be an Olympic gymnast to enjoy flipping and soaring across the range of activities – you just need to get involved.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Chocolate equals pure and immediate pleasure to many people, especially children, so where better to spend a couple of hours than a micro-factory dedicated to it. In the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, just off the Royal Mile, you’ll get to eat impeccable chocolate. Whether within one of the daily workshops or on an award-winning tour, you’ll also get to learn the art of how it’s made and concoct your very own bar – not an everyday experience. Once the session in the special Tasting Room arrives, it’s pretty extraordinary, with over 40 kinds of chocolate, many of them types of which you’ll have never tasted before. Some people even call The Chocolatarium educational, some are too busy chewing to say.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">The world-renowned Royal Botanic Gardens are an Edinburgh classic, not to be missed, particularly if the kids need to roam and explore in an open space. Stimulation is everywhere: among 13,500 species of living plants, there is a dedicated Children’s Garden, where youngsters can learn about plants and nature through hands-on activities and play. The site is huge, spanning around 70 acres, and the history of the garden dates back over 350 years. Keen, active interest in horticulture is not important – the Royal Botanic ensures that visitors are there to be entertained, educated, and amazed – some of the plants are so exotic that even the untrained eye, or a child’s gaze, cannot fail to be impressed. The imposing glasshouses are a flavoursome treat, with 10 different climatic zones to explore, from tropical rainforests to arid deserts – and the John Hope Gateway visitor centre boasts interactive exhibits and displays that are highly educational and engaging for children. Don’t forget about the wildlife either: there are several family-friendly trails throughout the gardens, which are home to a broad variety of insects, birds, and small animals.</span>

Whatever your choice, Edinburgh is a wonderful destination for families, with entertainment, giggles, and adventure lurking around every street corner.</span>
