Waterford Castle Afternoon Tea


A long standing tradition here, Waterford Castle Afternoon Tea is a truly unique experience. Enjoyed in the elegant surrounds of our luxury 16th Century Castle located on its very own 310-acre Private Island, the experience begins as you board our complimentary Resort Ferry. 

Located just 10 minutes from Waterford City Centre, Waterford Castle is truly a hidden gem for Afternoon Tea in Ireland.

At Waterford Castle we take pride in serving one of the best Afternoon Tea in Ireland. We believe that Afternoon Tea is the perfect way to take some time out from the busy world around you, and to truly relax and indulge. 

Our Afternoon Tea Gift Vouchers are available to purchase online, over the phone and at reception. Valid for five years, they make an ideal treat for someone you miss, and a promise of a wonderful reunion when the time comes. 

Our Afternoon Tea consists of three courses - warm scones served with clotted cream and preserves, savoury items such as sandwiches, and an array of desserts, served with a selection of teas or coffee.
