Cream Tea offers a delightful selection of fine teas and infusions, perfectly paired with a tiered tray of freshly baked scones, delightful tea sandwiches, and a sweet surprise. For a truly luxurious experience, our Afternoon Tea elevates this experience with an additional tier of decadent desserts, all served alongside the same exquisite selection of teas.
