Great House Antigua

Introducing traditional afternoon tea at The Great House Antigua, the only stone Buff House sitting in its Plantation grounds.

We are opening for guests to enjoy a freshly baked afternoon tea amongst the beautiful gardens with a backdrop of the 350-year-old Sugar Mill.  

Set in our Palm Court and only available for a limited number of discerning guests, the set afternoon tea service will include a selection of freshly made sandwiches, baked cakes, pastries or scones, accompanied by our Plantation honey, jam or island jelly and a selection of English teas.

Guests can add a glass of French champagne, at additional cost.  

Upon entering the Courtyard, within the 350-year-old main house, guests will be seated in small intimate tables, set with colourful and charming English tea service china.
