Afternoon Tea costs £35 per person and includes a selection of delicious sandwiches, homemade cakes and fancies, scones served with homemade preserves and clotted cream and a pot of tea including herbal teas using herbs from our kitchen garden.
Our Cream Tea costs £15 per person and includes two freshly made scones, homemade preserves and clotted cream and a pot of tea.
Our Afternoon and Cream Teas will be served in various locations around the gardens and in the Pagodas and guests are welcome to enjoy the gardens afterwards for up to 2 hours.
We aim to use as much produce as we can from the kitchen gardens and fruit trees so our guests can enjoy the tastes as well as the sights and the sounds of the beautiful gardens.
The gardens are built on gentle slopes and terraces so customers will need to have a fairly good level of mobility to access the full site. However, we will always aim to do our best to accommodate and aid any accompanied customers that are in wheelchairs, but some parts of the garden will be inaccessible due to the terrain.
We now have available fresh homemade produce.Please call to place an order.
