Tiny Tim's Tearoom
A 1930s-style tearoom on St Margaret's Street in the old town, famous for its oversized scones and extensive tea list, ideal for afternoon tea after visiting the cathedral.
Tiny Tim's Tearoom is at 34 St Margaret's Street near the cathedral, with retro 1930s décor, and it is one of Canterbury's best-known tearooms. Its signature is the huge freshly baked scone, available in raspberry and apple, blueberry and lime, and cheese. The Gentleman's Tea comes with a cheese scone, Welsh rarebit made with Spitfire ale, gingerbread cake and a glass of ale. Afternoon tea starts at about £26, and portions are large, so two people can share one. It can be busy at weekends, so you may need to queue or book, and the quality of the scones varies occasionally.
