Afternoon Tea

TRADITIONAL AFTERNOON TEA

Afternoon Tea served daily 3-5pm* in our light and spacious Orangery

Afternoon Tea at the historic Speech House is a suitably traditional affair with fine bone china, a tiered cake stand of indulgent treats, and a selection of fine teas to choose from.

The perfect excuse for a get together – whether that’s for a baby shower, hen party, birthday or anniversary celebration.

* on a Sunday we serve the Afternoon Tea at 4:00pm-6:00pm.

If you’re planning on joining us for Afternoon Tea on a Saturday, please call ahead to check whether there is a wedding on at the hotel, and where we will be serving Afternoon Tea to avoid disappointment.

  • A selection of finger sandwiches and savouries
  • Homemade seasonal fancies (changes seasonally)
  • Two freshly baked, warm sultana scones with jam and clotted cream
  • Choice of tea or coffee

Why not add a glass of Champagne for a really indulgent treat?
