Cornish Cream Teas at The Honey Pot
In the heart of Penzance, The Honey Pot offers arguably one of the best cream teas in Cornwall. With its unique twist on the entire cream tea experience, its quirky menu simply has to be experienced.
The scones are baked to perfection, offering the traditional golden exterior and a light, fluffy interior that creates a scone that both melts and crumbles in the mouth at the same time - the scone pinnacle of achievement.
What really sets the Honey Pot’s cream teas apart, though, is their innovative cream tea menus, which elevate the traditional experience to a whole new level.
Among the usual favourites - locally sourced strawberry jam and fresh clotted cream - you’ll also find cheese scones, homemade vegan scones with plant-based clotted cream and an entire cheese tea, comprising cheese scones, Cornish butter, Cheddar and chutney.
