Afternoon Tea Party
Twice a month we are hosting a fantastic afternoon tea party in our grand Ballroom. You have a choice of two types of afternoon tea, either sweet or savoury, and you can choose to make your afternoon tea even more memorable with a choice of drinks that complements your afternoon tea experience.
You can either choose an afternoon tea with or without complementing cocktails, or perhaps you would like to sample 3 types of Champagne.
To book your table please call 01702 899 222

Amaretto Sour
A sweet, sour, frothy, and nutty cocktail all in one. Nuttiness from Amaretto, sugar for sweetness, sourness from lime juice and egg white to help with the frothy texture, all shaken together and served over ice. (contains egg)
Tennessee Long Island Iced Tea
A slight twist to a traditional Long Island, just as strong and easy to drink but with Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey instead of White Tequila that helps to give the traditional drink a slight oaky flavour.
