With us, Afternoon Tea is all about letting your shoulders drop, savouring the moment and taking time for good conversation. With the aroma of freshly brewed tea, delicate small bites, sweet treats and beautiful surroundings, we invite you to a lovely time where the clock is allowed to slow down a little. Whether you’re gathering close friends, family or someone you hold dear, we want to create a flavourful experience filled with warmth, tradition and genuine hospitality. Because sometimes it’s the small moments that become the finest memories.
Warm regards,
Katrine and Lars Arne Straand

Treat yourself to a delightful Afternoon Tea at historic Straand Hotel! In our beautiful parlours dating back to 1864, or out in the charming apple orchard on warm days, we serve delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones and sweet treats, naturally with a good cup of tea. A tradition dating all the way back to 1840, perfect for good conversation, small celebrations and a well-deserved break in beautiful Vrådal. If you’d like a little extra sparkle in your glass, we’re happy to arrange that too!

Tea service
At Straand, it’s not just about what is served on the plate or in the glass. It’s about the feeling of gathering around a good meal, sharing stories over a cup of coffee, toasting small and big moments and creating memories that last long after the holiday is over.
We love giving our guests that little extra attention. From warm smiles and personal service to flavourful dishes made with care, carefully selected wines and refreshing drinks enjoyed with a view of beautiful Nisser. Whether you come as a couple, family, friends or colleagues, we want to create experiences that bring people together around the table.
For us, good food is also about where it comes from. That’s why we work with local ingredients and let Telemark add flavour to our experiences. We call it ‘The Taste of Telemark’ – because we believe food tastes better when the ingredients are local, seasonal and have a story to tell. At the same time, we believe local ingredients are a better choice for the environment, with shorter travel distances and greater focus on what’s right around us.
