Alfresco Dining at Oakley Hall

Sitting outside for your meal can do a number of good things to your mental and physical health; the fresh air of the countryside and the beautiful sights of surrounding flora and fauna make the perfect atmosphere that you will not want to forget. Inside the Glasshouse Restaurant is where you will find tranquillity and peace. The restaurant is fitted with windows that overlook the garden views, let in streams of sunshine and light, providing the perfect ‘inside outside’ feel for when there is a slight chill in the air or that English rain makes its return.

You can dine alfresco at Oakley Hall on our beautiful terrace. Surrounded by the peaceful sounds of birds, the sparkling water fountain and the original historical details of the manor house. The views of the rolling hills within the grounds can take your imagination off to the places you’ve always dreamed of, whilst our gorgeous Georgian-built hotel lets you imagine what it would’ve been like for the family who lived there before. You may even notice the lack of sound from cars or industrial trucks, finding that the scrumptious dishes from our menus transport you to another place or time!

Afternoon Tea can be enjoyed with friends, family and or your someone special, either in the restaurant itself or outside on the Garden Terrace. When sitting outdoors, all your senses will be heightened, from the sounds of the birds, smells of flowers and freshly cut grass connecting you even more to the taste of the seasonal treats our menus offer. The sunshine will also bring an abundance of summer flavours, including freshly grown strawberries, raspberries and peaches, and so many more hydrating, light, flavourful produce.

Afternoon Tea on the terrace at Oakley Hall Hotel, Basingstoke, can bring you closer together with friends, family and even nature. Whether it be to see those friends you haven’t seen in a long time or the family members who moved far away, our Afternoon tea is the perfect way to find the time for that much-needed sit-down and catch up. Special occasions, big and small, are to be celebrated - the big promotion at work, moving house, buying a car or even having cleaned up your garden, any small win is a victory that deserves a treat. Perhaps with a Sparkling Afternoon Tea? Our sparkling Afternoon Teas are partnered with a bubbling glass of English Sparkling Wine, which you can cheer with your loved ones. It’s enjoyed the most out in the sun, watching the world go by with your nearest and dearest.
