Our Afternoon Tea menus are award-winning and our kitchens are extremely proud of the homemade sandwiches, cakes, and scones they serve. Seeing them piled high on bone china plates with accompanying pots of strawberry jam and thick clotted cream, it’s easy to see how they won over the most critical judge’s eye.

The period lounges are the perfect place to enjoy our Afternoon Tea, or if the weather is nice and warm, the terrace overlooking the lawns and lake makes a sunny alternative. Or we’ll carefully pack your high tea into a picnic hamper for you to enjoy wherever you like. As well as Afternoon Tea, we also serve enjoy morning coffee, light bites, main meals, and desserts in our Lounges, or treat yourself to a little something from the Cocktail Bar.
