The Top City and Country Hotel Awards of Excellence Winners 2012
27th March 2012
The Tea Guild has bestowed 12 Awards of Excellence in this year's Top City and Country Hotel Tea Awards 2012.
The Tea Guild Awards, now in their 27th year, are considered the 'Oscars' of afternoon tea industry, with the best tea rooms in Britain competing for the hugely coveted honour. Taking afternoon tea is a cherished experience steeped in British tradition and will be particularly popular this year as the British public and many of this year’s overseas visitors celebrate British traditions with the Queens Diamond Jubilee and the 2012 Olympic Games.
