ENJOY A CUPPA IN THE RAINFOREST Gordon Bennett, those homemade scones and quiches at the Vintage Tea House are jolly scrummy. But you don’t have to be a Brit to appreciate this smashing little place that dishes up generous fare with a Caribbean twist, including local jams, Ploughman’s platters, delicious English muffins, bacon rolls, salads and puds. And all served on vintage china (what else). A real slice of Blighty – in the heart of the Antiguan rainforest. Tea’s up, old chap. www.antiguavintageteahouse.com +1 (268) 774-2366

EXPERIENCE ANTIGUA THE DYSON WAY IT’S NOT ALL WORK, WORK, WORK. AND NEITHER IS IT ALL BEACHES AND SAILING. FROM AQUATIC ADVENTURES TO DELECTABLE DINING, ANTIGUA OFFERS AN ARRAY OF ACTIVITIES TO GET ACTIVE, COOL OFF OR PIG OUT. THESE ARE SOME OF OUR FAMILY’S FAVOURITES.

FARM-TO-TABLE FARE WASHED DOWN WITH A RUM OR TWO We don’t always drink rum but when we do it’s at Fox House. The home-infused varieties of the quintessential Caribbean tipple hit the spot almost as well as the food. The latter comprises a sumptuous selection of farm-to-table fare with dishes like Antigua black pineapple-marinated pork chops, West Indian curry, warm roasted vegetable cous cous, and Creole baked chicken. We love digestifs in the garden by the firepit. thefoxhouseantigua.com +1 (268) 783-4250

START THE FUN WITH A BANG There are beach venues – and then there’s Loose Cannon. Burgers, poke bowls, salads and ceviche don’t get much better than when they’re whipped up by a Michelin-starred chef. Throw in live music, day beds and creative cocktails and it’s starting to look like a party. Antigua’s hottest new spot – fringing Galleon Beach – is funky, family-friendly and totally fabulous. www.loosecannonbeachbar.com +1 (268) 729-1688
