All About The Art of Cake High Tea
Updated: 4 days ago
What to expect.
When you arrive, you will let the staff know that you are here for our High Tea Sitting. They will escort you to your finely set table in the Long Room or Dining Room. This is dependant on the number of bookings and order in which they are received and will be determined by the Head Tea Supervisor.
Your pot of tea will be brought out shortly after you are sat.
Once you have had the opportunity to settle in and all guests have arrived to the tea, service will begin! Your tea dolly will arrive, complete with savouries and sweet. You will also be served our fine tea scones with our house made clotted cream and preserves.
Your Tea: Creme De Earl Grey Tea
