Afternoon Tea in Guernsey

There is nowhere better to savour a delicious traditional Afternoon Tea than The Old Government House Hotel, looking out over St Peter Port. At the OGH we make this a beautiful occasion, with delicate finger sandwiches, delicious pastries, and freshly baked scones with homemade preserves and Guernsey clotted cream.


Enjoy this quintessential ritual in our Sir John Coward Lounge, or during finer weather, al fresco in our tranquil Olive Grove and serene gardens, with panoramic sea views.
