Mayfield’s Lavender Farm Afternoon Tea For 2
On a Monday afternoon, I found myself surrounded by lavender in Epsom, enjoying the Mayfield Afternoon Tea for 2 Experience at Mayfield Lavender’s Brand-New Secret Lavender Garden. This was a thank-you treat for my lovely stepmother, who had taken care of my dog, Sassy-Love, while I was away recently. The experience, which cost £70, was a delightful way to spend an afternoon.
Mayfield Lavender’s Brand-New Glasshouse Cafe
Located just fifteen miles south of central London, this new 12-acre space is the passion project of owner Lorna Maye. After more than a decade in the making, the Secret Lavender Garden is now open. With its lavender-lined paths, iconic red phone box, and magical purple keyhole door, this place is a real-life fairytale.
Fun Fact: Lorna named it the “Secret Garden” because of the hidden winding trails and peaceful pockets throughout that make you feel like you have stumbled into your own private wonderland.
Upon our arrival, we were warmly greeted by the staff, making us feel right at home. Fortunately, the weather was on our side, providing a pleasant break from the heat and allowing us to fully enjoy the picturesque scenery outside.
We began our experience with a choice of Prosecco or Lavender Lemonade, a refreshing and subtly sweet drink with a hint of lavender. We opted for the Lavender Lemonade, which was a perfect choice for the warm afternoon.
Afternoon Tea consisted of lovely, fresh sandwiches – the salmon and cream cheese ‘Chefs’ Kiss’, sausage rolls, and quiche, plus the scones: big, light, and airy with clotted cream and strawberry jam, and a selection of cakes and macarons, deliciously presented on a wooden tea stand with a unique handle!
Followed by a choice of tea or coffee.
We intended to take a leisurely stroll through the twenty-five acres of beautiful, organic lavender, grown without pesticides or chemicals and certified by the Soil Association, and take some pictures, get.
Mayfield Lavender Farm is one of the UK’s most Instagrammable summer hotspots!
However, as the temperature had started to rise, we decided to ditch our intended cheeky stroll and instead check out the gift shop.

Mayfield Lavender Gift Shop Haul
I bought some lavender oil and lavender sachets, which I placed in the drawer where I keep my pyjamas. This way, I can enjoy the lovely lavender scent when I go to bed. I also hang the sachets in my wardrobe, as the sales associate advised that they help ward off moths (in hindsight, I wish I had bought more for them).
The thought of purchasing the lavender honey lingered in my mind, and I don’t know why I did not go through with the purchase. However, I am already planning my return to the Mayfield Lavender Cafe.
