Afternoon tea enthusiasts can secure a heavily discounted two-person package for as little as £4.50 per person, but only for 24 hours. Virgin Experience Days is offering an Afternoon Tea for Two package priced at £40, which works out at £20 each. However, a cashback promotion means savvy shoppers could pay far less.
Cashback Promotion Details
To celebrate its 21st anniversary, TopCashback is offering new members 30% cashback on Virgin Experience Days purchases for one day only, Wednesday, July 15. New users can also claim a £21 sign-up bonus this week. Combined, these offers bring the total cost of the afternoon tea experience down to around £9, or roughly £4.50 per person, for those eligible. Existing TopCashback members can still save, with the experience reduced to £30 after cashback.
What the Package Includes
The package includes a traditional spread of finger sandwiches, baked treats, cakes, and pastries, served at one of 22 venues across the UK. Locations range from classic hotel settings such as Dalmahoy Country Club and the London Chigwell Prince Regent Hotel to more modern venues like Revolution Bars. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available, making the experience suitable for a range of dietary preferences.
Alternative Options
For those seeking something more premium, alternative afternoon tea experiences are available. Buyagift offers a luxury option at Gordon Ramsay’s Lucky Cat at 22 Bishopsgate in London, priced at £130. At-home options are also available, including a delivery service from artisan bakery Cutter and Squidge, with afternoon tea boxes starting from £29.99.
Customer Feedback
Customers who have already tried the Virgin Experience Days package have shared largely positive feedback online. One reviewer said: "Very tasty enjoyable and relaxing afternoon tea at Mercure hotel Ayr." Another added: "Everything was top quality. Great selection of sandwiches and cakes and of course clotted cream and jam. Great coffee too." A third wrote: "A delicious tea for two. Everything was outstanding from food to service."
Some feedback was more mixed, with one customer commenting: "Very nice hotel and setting, however, although the sweet side of the offering was nice, the very few savoury sandwiches were poor in comparison." Despite this, most reviews were favourable. One diner said: "We thoroughly enjoyed our Afternoon Tea experience at The Fairfield Manor, Mercury Hotel, York. The staff were very helpful and informative. The food was also delicious. The hotel setting was lovely and very tidy. Would definitely go back for another visit."
