The George in Rye Logo Book

Afternoon Tea

“I should like a cup of tea, Miss Lyall, with plenty of milk in it, and not too strong. You know how I like my tea. And a biscuit or something for Pug, with a little cream in a saucer, or anything that’s handy.” – E. F. Benson, Queen Lucia

As any of E. F. Benson’s Mapp and Lucia novels will reveal, Rye is famed for its cream teas, and The George in Rye is the perfect place to sit down for a nice pot of tea and a slice (or two or three) of cake.

In the autumn and winter, take a seat in our panelled sitting room with its log fire, while on lazy summer afternoons the courtyard terrace makes for a lovely suntrap.
