A Quintessentially British Experience: Afternoon Tea at Durham’s Premier 4-Star Hotel
When you want to find something to do that involves you and your dearest friends in Durham, why not try out our Afternoon Tea Menu?
Traditionally, Afternoon Tea was kept for the ladies of the house in history and involved some of the most delicate finger sandwiches and cakes. There are also handmade savoury and sweet scones served with Cornish clotted cream – no matter where you are! Add the traditional pot of freshly brewed tea, and you’ve got a delicious accompaniment to a wonderful afternoon with friends.
Our Afternoon Tea service runs between 12pm and 4pm, and there are plenty of reasons you should head to Durham for your booking. Here are a few of those reasons to indulge in a delicate Afternoon Tea Service:
The historic setting
Our venue offers you the chance to enjoy your Afternoon Team in a beautiful, historic building with a delightful orangery, comfy snug and beautiful garden. Soak in the city of Durham for the morning and then come to us for our delicious teas.
Traditional experiences
It’s a British tradition that never goes out of fashion, and we offer you the chance to experience it in a beautiful, traditional English setting. Our selection of teas, scones, sandwiches and pastries are served on tiered trays, always following that classic Afternoon Tea etiquette.
To make it extra special why not add a glass of bubbles to enhance your experience.
