Tea is presented in individual teapots and accompanied by the traditional three-tiered tray, appointed with:
-Gourmet artisanal finger sandwiches
-Fresh-baked breads and scones
-Dainty petit fours
Served alongside house-made preserves, lemon curd, and English double Devon cream. Please note your dietary restrictions when you purchase your ticket.
