From what I can tell, the tearoom in the Royal Pavilion has been re-done in recent years, although…read morethis was my first visit. The tables were dark with plush purple chairs. The walls were a rich colour, yet light and airy. The outer balcony looked like quite a nice place to sit and look out over the grounds of the Pavilion. However it was a bit chilly when my friend and I went, so we stayed inside. Admission is only available through the Brighton Pavilion museum itself, but for a local a visit comes to about £5 if you prove residence and get the discount for booking online. Obviously not somewhere you'd just pop into, but if you're looking to visit the Pavilion anyway, may as well! My friend and I each ordered the Sussex blend tea, which was nice. We were going to split the remaining slice of gluten free chocolate cake that was on display. But we were then told that there was also a gluten free lemon cake. So we got both. The lemon cake was seriously VERY good. It was moist and very lemony. Poor neglected chocolate cake (which was also nice, but a bit dry, perhaps from sitting uncovered all day), we shovelled the lemon cake down. The tearoom is basically the last bit before the gift shop, so if you get there and have time to kill, I'd stop in. :)

There's something a bit stuffy and not very comfortable about the Pavilion tearoom, but that's half…read morethe charm...it's all so British! The carpet is horribly patterned and the tables and chairs are outdated, but still, hoards of unperturbed tourists pile in to buy overpriced tea and sandwiches. You've got to admire it really! Sadly you can't access the cafe unless you have paid for entrance to the Royal Pavilion itself. This is a real shame, because the balcony is really quite a spectacular place to enjoy a pot of tea- the views of the Pavilion Gardens and the old stables (now Brighton and Hove Museum) are lovely. The sandwiches (tuna, cheese and pickle, egg and cress etc.) come with kettle chips and salad but in my opinion you really ought to have a cream tea, when dining in a palace! The Royal Pavilion is quite an experience- and it is quite possible to feel a spot of stimulus overload (both visual and informational) by the time you make it upstairs- the tearooms provide a nice resting spot to sit and digest.

On this trip, in mid June 2025, we'd promised our American daughter a proper British "Cream Tea"…read more.. Somehow, we didn't expect to find it in Brighton, but this was the perfect place for it! After a long walk from Brighton Marina to the Pier, and a lot of shopping in The Lanes, we were ready for an Afternoon Tea! This Tea Shop is in the heart of "The Lanes", a picturesque location amidst brightly coloured shops, cafes and restaurants, in narrow, winding alleyways that make for a unique shopping area. It was lucky we went in at 4.30pm... They close at 5pm, but we were welcomed in as one of the last guests before they announced they were closed. It also meant we not only got a table, but the place started clearing out before we'd finished, so we ended up being the last customers, which was nice. It's a cute, cozy little tea shop, pretty on the outside and inside, with pictures of Brighton on the walls and an eclectic mixture of teapots, milk jugs and cups. It had been many years since I'd last had a "cream tea" and this didn't disappoint. We ordered some fruit scones and some plain scones (both were yummy but I recommend the fruit ones - the raisins & sultanas are really plump and juicy!). We also tried our scones both ways - cream then jam (the Devon way), and jam then cream (the Cornish way)... I'd been brought up the Devon way, but discovered the Cornish way is actually more to my liking! Both were yummy! We didn't buy any cakes, but the cakes (as well as the scones) are made fresh daily and looked delicious. And I must say, the tea itself was fresh and superior quality - loose leaf English breakfast, rather than bagged, really makes a difference. Our server was very sweet and friendly, and then, at the end, since we were the last customers, the shop owner came out to talk to us, and was super friendly and welcoming... She asked where we were from (always fun, as I'm British, but my husband and daughter are American). Despite it being the end of her day, she didn't rush us out at all, and enjoyed chatting with us. The whole thing was a delightful experience.

Cleverly disguised as a very sleekly designed mom n' pop shop, Pavilion Tea Company is actually owned by momma Peyton and poppa Byrne. This is a turnoff for me, as from my brushes with Peyton and Byrne in the British Library and Wellcome Collection cafés, their food always manages to look way better than it tastes. Pavilion Tea Company comes back for the victory with these elements: - their tea list is huge and interesting - they brew at different temperatures as appropriate to the type of blend, and mark it accordingly on the menu--as someone who has to wait half a day before her tea is cool enough for her, I found the 85 degree temperature to be perfect - my white tea to take away to the gardens was deliciously floral and earthy - my server offered to package up the tea bag she used for my take-away so I could have another steep at home - I impulse-bought a little bag of loose leaf Sri Lankan chai, and it is definitely the best chai I have ever brewed myself I think I'll stay away from the beautifully presented pastries after bad past experiences, but it's great to know there are lots of lovely teas waiting for me to try next time I'm in Brighton.

Eventually, I managed to decide on a sandwich, which was very tasty, especially the bread which was extremely fresh. There was the option of white, brown or granary. I went for the latter. The only thing that let my lunch down was the chicken...there wasn't much of it, and it was clearly chopped and formed, in small cubes. The other elements of the sandwich (bacon, avocado and salad) were all lovely. At £5.50, I expected a bit more but have also tried the panini's (more around the £3.50 mark) and they are very good value for money in my humble opinion. All in all, a lovely little place to come for a spot of lunch. The cakes looks very tempting but sadly, the sandwich was very filling so I can't comment on the cakes...at least not this time!

It was frigidly windy when I was in Brighton and after walking around the town a bit, I started looking for a place to brace myself with a cup of tea before heading out. I'd had a recommendation to try to find Leman Tea Room and it was well worth the quick walk. The owner kindly let me in and it was bliss. So warm and toasty, and adorably decorated. I ordered a slice of their spinach and banana cake, and a cup of tea. Both were just what I needed. The cake was fresh, handmade, and not too sweet at all. I polished it down with my little teapot of tea. The owner left me alone to my thoughts and to warm up at my own pace, never hurrying me. I love little finds like this, with plenty of the owner's and local character throughout!
