The Restaurant
Report
Other options in the evening include the South lawn with a Taittinger terrace, carriages or cedar pavilion. Set in the original manor house this setting offers a stunning historic backdrop to your dining experience. On the day we do offer as much flexibility as we can with seating areas, we do understand plans change and the weather can pay a large part in these decisions.
Afternoon Tea
Report
Dating back to the 1830s, the tradition of Afternoon Tea was founded by the Duchess of Bedford. It is documented that she did not like the period of time between luncheon and dinner, so opted for a long and social event with friends. Almost 200 years later, this quintessential English tradition remains as loved as when it was first created.
