Enjoy a luxurious Afternoon Tea in our glorious vintage tearooms in Bristol

Often described as one of the quirkiest places you can have afternoon tea in Bristol, at Ashwell & Co we pride ourselves not only on our unique setting within a vintage boutique, but we also rate as one of the best afternoon teas in Bristol. There’s definitely no style over substance here!

Everything is handmade or locally made with love to create a proper, traditional afternoon tea experience. From the bread to the cakes, the scones and even our signature homemade clotted cream, everything is made with care and attention to give our lovely customers an experience to remember.
