Afternoon Tea Hampers

Our afternoon tea hampers bring together the classic flavours of a traditional British afternoon tea with a CheeseHamper signature twist: a Vintage Cheddar waxed truckle, Peter's Yard sourdough crackers and caramelised onion chutney alongside every sweet treat. Four options from £24.95 with free UK delivery on orders over £35, hand-packed and dispatched in chilled packaging so everything arrives in perfect condition.

Range last updated May 2026 — includes the latest 4 options available.

What's in our afternoon tea hampers

Every afternoon tea hamper in the range includes both sweet and savoury elements, making them a more complete and interesting gift than a purely sweet afternoon tea box. The sweet side covers traditional afternoon tea favourites — scones, shortbread, fruit cake, strawberry jam and clotted cream where included. The savoury side is our signature addition: a Vintage Cheddar waxed truckle, Peter's Yard Original Sourdough Crackers and caramelised onion chutney that add depth and balance to the whole experience.

Our afternoon tea hamper range

The Afternoon Tea For 2 (£24.95) is the entry point, focused on the classic cream tea combination of sultana scones, clotted cream, strawberry jam and afternoon tea, plus the CheeseHamper savoury pairing in a white magnetic gift box. It suits occasions where you want something charming and well-presented without a larger spend.

The Afternoon Tea Gift (£29.95) is a step up, adding fruit cake, shortbread and almond thins to the cream tea combination in a magnetic gift box with 8 items in total. It works well as a birthday gift or a generous thank you.

The Cream Tea Hamper (£40) offers a more generous cream tea spread in a traditional hamper format, making it a solid mid-range option for anyone who wants more than a gift box but doesn't need the full premium presentation.

The Afternoon Tea Hamper (£55) is the premium option, presented in an anthracite rope hamper with 11 items including everything in the gift box version plus sultana scones, clotted cream fudge, additional clotted cream and a collectible Victorian-style gold-embossed tea caddy with 40 English Afternoon teabags. It makes a genuinely impressive gift for birthdays, Mother's Day and special occasions.
