What people say about our afternoon teas
Spent a couple of hours here for afternoon tea. The food was superb and the staff exceptionally friendly and attentive. It was all very well presented!
Debbie Given
Great afternoon tea, selection was plenty, food delicious and the team in the Glasshouse very helpful and professional. We booked to celebrate a 40th birthday, albeit just 3 of us and it felt very special and welcoming.

I was gifted a champagne afternoon tea for two as a retirement gift. I can honestly say, it was amazing! From the greeting at the Hotel entrance to the time we left, the staff were lovely. Friendly but not hovering, so you didn't feel rushed. The selection of sandwiches was great, we had cucumber, smoked salmon, chicken and tarragon and egg mayo. Plain and fruit scones ( obviously cream and jam!), and a selection of cakes. One was Bombay Sapphire gin and rhubarb, I tried to steal my husband's one as well but he beat me to it! I had assam tea, my husband had coffee and we had a lovely glass of bubbles. Two hours of bliss, I would totally recommend.
