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
