About
Indulge in a decadent Cocktail Cream Tea featuring a trio of scones—plain, fruit, and cheese—served with homemade seasonal preserve, lemon curd, and clotted cream, accompanied by the signature Seventh Duchess of Bedford cocktail and your choice of tea or coffee. For a warming twist, upgrade to a specialty hot chocolate or matcha green tea.
The classic Cream Tea offers the same delightful selection of scones and spreads, paired with a hot beverage of your choice.
For something celebratory, Cakes and Bubbles for Two invites you to enjoy a glass of Prosecco each alongside two desserts, from Mrs Tollman’s Baked Vanilla Cheesecake to the indulgent Sticky Toffee Pudding or Vegan Chocolate Brownie. This sweet offering is perfect for sharing and savouring in style.
Available daily from midday
