In keeping with tradition, afternoon tea is the highlight of every day. Each afternoon we serve an array of cakes, scones and sandwiches. Choose to sit at a table and have it served to you or preorder our new picnic afternoon tea packed into a returnable rucksack.
‘Work up an appetite with a walk through the secret grottos, glades and rose-wreathed arches of the Humphry Repton-designed gardens, before taking your seat in the wood-panelled dining room, terrace or parterre and gawp at sweeping views of the Tamar River. The bespoke Wedgewood crockery is inspired by the gardens’.
